Afro Chilean music is a genre of music that is rooted in the African heritage of Chilean people. The music is a blend of African rhythms, indigenous music, and Spanish influences.

One of the most popular forms of Afro Chilean music is the cueca, which is the national dance of Chile. The cueca has its roots in the Spanish fandango and the African rhythms of the slaves brought to Chile during the colonial period. Other forms of Afro Chilean music include the candombe, which is a style of drumming and dancing that originated in Uruguay but is also practiced in Chile, and the carnavalito, which is a dance that is popular in the northern region of Chile.

The Afro Chilean music scene has been influenced by various factors such as colonization, migration, and social and political movements. However, despite its rich history and cultural significance, Afro Chilean music has been absent in Chilean mainstream culture. In recent years, there has been a growing movement to promote and celebrate Afro Chilean music and culture, with various artists and organizations working to preserve and promote the music and traditions of Afro Chileans.
