History

Manns composed the song in a single night, using as inspiration the memories he had of different moments in his life, [8] where fleeing from justice he hid in the foothills of Los Angeles, and lived with muleteers near the Atacalco mountain pass, in the commune of Antuco and in the Laguna del Laja.[9][10]

Music video

The song premiered a video clip in October 1972, under the direction of Hugo Arévalo, who is considered the father of the video clip in Chile. In the video clip you see Patricio Manns, wearing a poncho that lent the filmmaker to play the role of a muleteer, riding a horse with a group of muleteers in the Andes Mountains, Manns and Hugo Arévalo had known each other since their youth in the city of Concepción and at that time they were friends, in the recording of this video based on previous conversations they went to look for muleteers in the Farellones area for filming, in the Cordillerano spring landscape without snow, according to the words of Arévalo "He had made this same story, this same section, he only tells his real experience, what she lived".[11]

In the words of Hugo Lagos regarding the award of Arriba en la cordillera In the year I don't know how much two songs were chosen in Chile as the best of the last 40 years Thank you to life and Up in the mountains. We decided to record that of Manns, that of Violeta had no need, her children were enough». He had also said that the arrangement was made on a tour of Italy, in Venice in the house of the son of Gabriel Valdés named Max Valdés who was a conductor. The introduction was made with Quenas and little by little they began to collect ideas collectively. The arrangement was completed in the city of Paris, France, but the bulk of the work was done by Eduardo Carrásco, the choirs and counterpoints of the Quenas were modulated in the singing. When it was finished in 1979, it was added to the album "Umbral" of that same year.[12]
