La Marraqueta is a Chilean jazz fusion band formed in Concepción, with a mixture of folk music and Mapuche music, as well as rock.What they have called as Jazz Fusion Criollo (chilean creole jazz fusion). It started in the year 1992 from the definitive extinction of Cometa, a jazz band that had as members three of the current members of this band; Andrés Pollak, Pablo Lecaros and Pedro Greene.They were joined by guitarists Jorge Díaz and Mauricio Rodríguez.Its existence has been one of the most valuable proposals in the history of chilean jazz, since it proposes the encounter between jazz improvisation and the concept of music with folkloric roots.
