The group splits into two factions

Both Quilapayún and Inti-Illimani's recent paths have been marked by internal issues. Inti-Illimani (pronounced een'tee ee'yee-mah'nee) is a musical group from Chile, formed in 1967. Over the years historic members left the groups and others took their place. In the case of Quilapayún, the faction led by Rodolfo Parada and Patricio Wang continues to operate out of Paris, France and has released at least two albums since 1999. The remaining original members of the group reunited in 2003 forming the "historic" Quilapayún and have also released two albums since 2004. There continues to be pending litigation in the French courts regarding this issue, as both groups are claiming the name and legacy of Quilapayún. The Chile-based historic faction is celebrating the group's 40 year anniversary performing concerts in Chile, Latin America and Europe in coordination with the "historic" Inti-Illimani. The joint concerts have been advertised and promoted as Inti+Quila. Inti+Quila is the name utilized by the historic Chilean Nueva Canción groups Inti-Illimani and Quilapayún during their recent collaborative artistic efforts The current "historic" lineup includes Eduardo Carrasco, Rubén Escudero, Ricardo Venegas, Guillermo García, Ismael Oddó (son of Guillermo "Willy" Oddó), Hugo Lagos, Hernán Gómez, Carlos Quezada and Sebastián Quezada (son of Carlos).
