The group was formed in 1967 by a group of university students and it acquired widespread popularity in Chile for their song Venceremos (We shall win!) which became the anthem of the Popular Unity government of Salvador Allende. At the moment of the September 11, 1973 Chilean coup they were on tour in Europe and were unable to return to their country where their music was proscribed by the ruling military junta. In Europe their music took on a multifarious character, incorporating elements of European baroque and other traditional music forms to their rich and colourful Latin American rhythms - creating a distinctive fusion of modern world music. They are perhaps the best internationally known members of the nueva canción movement. Their name means 'Sun of the Illimani.' In Aymara Illimani is the name of a mountain in the Bolivian Andes. They influenced Yeni Türkü, a Turkish group, during their debut album, Buğdayın Türküsü (Song of Wheat) in 1979.
The group was formed by students at Universidad Técnica del Estado at Santiago, Chile in 1967. In 1973 as they were on tour abroad, General Augusto Pinochet launched a coup d'etat and took power. Having heard of the numerous extra-judicial killings of many fellow artists by Chile's army, they took up residence in Italy, resulting in "the longest tour in history" for Inti-Illimani as they lived in de facto exile. They continued their efforts supporting Chilean democracy internationally; magnitizdat copies of their work continued to be widely distributed in Chile. In September 1988, days after they were no longer banned from Chile, they began touring Chile again. They helped organize the voting down of the referendum that would have re-elected Pinochet. Recently, they were actually supported by Chile as representatives of Chilean culture.
In the past the group was musically led by Horacio Salinas and politically led by Jorge Coulon. However, in 2001 there was a controversial split of the group, which started when three key members left the group (José Seves, Horacio Durán and Horacio Salinas). They were replaced by Manuel Meriño (from Entrama), Cristián González and Juan Flores. Due to the importance of departed members, many called into question the ability of the remainder to carry on the Inti-Illimani name. Meanwhile, the three departed members started their own group they call Inti-Histórico. From 2005 there are two groups:
Inti-Illimani New (Coulon brothers)
Inti-Illimani Histórico (José Seves, Horacio Durán and Horacio Salinas)

Mi abuelo acaba de irse. Comunista de los viejos, soñador de la UP, preso y exiliado, un roble de esos que aguantó todo en su vida. Con este tema me despido viejito lindo. Descansa ahora.

Un abrazo Vicente. Mi abuelo también falleció, un comunista viejo, panadero, un hombre noble que abrió su casa a todos quienes necesitaron, buen padre y abuelo. También soñó por un Chile más justo, equitativo y digno para todos. Ahora con tu abuelo, miran desde arriba en lo hermoso que hoy 4 de Julio, Chile se convierte con la convención constitucional.

Llegué a los 7 años a Chile, con mi familia desde Lima, vivimos nuestro exilio en Santiago, pensábamos regresar hasta que termine la dictadura de Fujimori, donde mi padre fue perseguido político, y mi madre una profesional que dedicados ambos al trabajo social, nos enseñó la realidad que existía tanto en Chile como en Perú, separados 20 años de nuestras familias, sentimos ese exilio en tierras sureñas donde a la falda de la cordillera de los andes siento esta canción como parte de mi historia latinoamericana, donde brota sentimiento por esta hermosa tierra que me vió crecer y esta noche que escribo esto ahora rebrota nostalgia pura. Cierro los ojos y observo la cordillera nevada, observo la lluvia en la alameda, la gente caminar. La historia la escriben los pueblos, desde Perú . Un abrazo, los quiero mucho . Victor Jara presente esta noche.

Yo que tu no hubiese regresado a Peru. Mas bien quiero irme de Peru a Chile. jeje pero es solo mi opinion. Saludos desde Apurimac.

Hoy en Perú y Latinoamérica se viven días de convulsión. Toda la fuerza al pueblo trabajador peruano, porque ellos son el verdadero motor de prosperidad, no el político ni el empresariado que se mueven en las sombras y legislan sólo a su favor. Si Salvador Allende estuviera vivo gritaría: Viva Perú, viva el Pueblo, vivan los trabajadores!!! Un fuerte abrazo desde Chile
