The writer and journalist shared a video on social networks where the musician explains his surnames of Mapuche origin. “Many point the finger at him after saying that he was a proud son of the Mapuche-Williche people,” he assured.
Through his social networks, the writer and journalist Pedro Cayuqueo showed his support for the urban singer Carlos Rain Pailacheo, better known as Pailita, for his Mapuche ancestry.
It all started when Cayuqueo shared a video on Instagram of the musician participating in the online program Boardwhere explains the origin of his stage name.
“Why Pailita? Because of the ears, although I don’t find big ears ”, she commented in the first place, laughing. “Well, also because my last name is Pailacheo. I am from the Mapuche Williche indigenous people. Hold on to the indigenous people,” he added in the video.
In that, in said episode he explains that his full name is “Carlos Javier Rain Pailacheo”, pointing out that both his father and mother are Mapuche.
Along with capturing the moment, the writer sent a short message of support: “How big the Pailita peñi. Hang in there with the indigenous people!”
However, hours later, the journalist returned to refer to the subject, due to, as he accused, criticism against the urban artist. According to his publication, many were skeptical of the musician’s statements.
“Some of the comments of those who (maputometer on) they point the finger at him after saying that he was a proud son of the Mapuche-Williche people”began writing Pedro Cayuqueo, repeating phrases like “Pailita is pure story” or that “she doesn’t even know what her last name means”.
“The peñi, humble, not only does he recognize his indigenous identity, he also educates himself whenever he can on what he does not know”, added Cayuqueo, showing a photograph of the voice of Na na na.
