I think the percentage would be about right, though. We housemates have barbecues or house parties every other weekend or so, and most of the play list is American, followed by music from Argentina and other parts of Latin America. I guesstimate about 20% of the music played is Chilean.
The Chilean portion of the houseparty play list might consist of songs from these bands (primarily from the 80s, 'cause that's how we roll in this house):
Los Tres (for example: Amor Violento)
Los Jaivas (for example: Todos Juntos)
Los Prisoneros (for example: Tren Al Sur)
Sinergia (for example: Amor Alternativo)
And it might include some folk music, such as a cueca chilena (folkdance) or a cueca chilota (folkdance with the flavor of Chiloé), or some Pablo Neruda poetry set to music by Los Jaivas.
And, as in all parts of the world, you never know when Celine might show up.
