Sumario:Our team’s research proposal deals with sound as an integral part of the ethnographic experience transmited to the reader/listener, this is achieved thanks to the capability of sound to describe, contextualize and evoke those scenarios, voices, melodies and emotions that, as a whole, locate us in the field of  ethnographic practice. The soundscapes, used with diverse emphasis in our work, will be studied as an ethnographic tool independent from graphic and textual components. Thus, this is a reflexive approach that aims to go through our explorations in the realm of soundscapes and highlight their potential for meaning transmition. That methodological approach is discussed in this paper facing the results of two research proyects that took place in Azapa (Northern Chile): “Azapa. Música para los Muertos” (2006) and “Azapa. El Ño Carnavalón” (2007), and one developed in Mocha Island (South-Central Chile): “Mocha. Memorias Loberas” (2007).
