Aimé Painé, singer, faithful representative of her Mapuche people from Río Negro, Argentina, was raised between two cultures, the Mapuche from her genetic origin, and the Western one through a family from "Mar del Plata" city that adopted her when her father, The chief of her tribe had to give her up for adoption due to lack of resources to raise her with dignity. At that time they called them "maids", serving those who adopted them in exchange for education and housing. She studied in Catholic school, she was educated among nuns and religion. She had a privileged voice, which is why she was recruited to participate in the school choir. There she developed her magnificent voice that she later dedicated to her people, singing and playing exclusively Mapuche music. She was famous for her songs, for her place in the world by promoting her culture, and for her great beauty as a woman. "Respecting our culture means growing with dignity towards all the peoples of the world"... said Aime, who, together with Josefina Racedo, introduced me to the topic that to this day I continue to develop with great empathy and sensitivity in the service of the indigenous peoples from the world.
