                           ESPA�OL
Este instrumento llamado (Jelataj choz) pertenece a la etnia  WICH�, tambi�n
Conocida como MATACO, es un instrumento que consiste en 2 arcos entrelazados
La cuerda es de cola de caballo , antiguamente era de crin o cola de p�cari, es un
Instrumento profundamente m�stico e invocatorio, tambi�n se utiliza grupalmente
En las ceremonias que hoy en d�a todav�a contin�an realizando nuestros queridos
Wichi,  se estima que el poder invocatorio es para convocar a su alto dios NILATAJ
Al cual se le brinda una rogativa pidiendo solo lo que se necesita para vivir, agua,
Sol, viento, buena pesca y caza, pues siguen manteniendo la antigua tradici�n
De ser cazadores recolectores, esta etnia tiene como h�bitat la provincia del Chaco
En el norte central argentino, su nombre WICHI quiere decir ?gente plena?, esto
Se debe a que su territorio siempre fue muy abundante en caza y pesca, la conquista
Los descubri� tarde pues metidos en la selva chaque�a fueron dif�ciles de encontrar,
Supieron defender duramente su tierra y cultura, fueron muchas las campa�as de
Exterminio que sufrieron , pero hoy est�n vivos y presentes con su cultura , tambi�n
Poseen su propio lenguaje y su musica es muy variada y particular, este instrumento
Es individual curativo y chamanico.
