SANTIAGO, July 10 (Reuters) - Copper production at Codelco's Andina division in central Chile will remain suspended until at least Tuesday afternoon following violent protests linked to a worker's strike, a Codelco source said Tuesday.

The source said the morning shift at Andina, which had been due to start at 8:00 a.m. local time (1200 GMT), had been canceled and the next shift was due to start at 4.00 p.m.

Codelco, the target of protests over the past two weeks by subcontracted workers who are striking over pay and conditions, suspended output from Andina on Monday after the disturbances left one worker with serious injuries.

German musicians Clemens Knill, Friedrich Hutter, Gerhard Wieser, Gisela Woelk, Birgit Knill, Tobias Rief, Bruno Deschler, Philipp Knill and Juergen Tschoege Magino, all members of the Musikkapelle Roggenzell band from southern Germany, and Bolivian musician Daniel Libovicky, hold a concert of Waltz, Tango, Landler and Dixie music played on trumpets, clarinets, horns, percussion, tuba and flute at the peak of the Acotango volcano that straddles the border between Bolivian and Chile, August 6, 2007. The group and its audience of 14 people (two of whom are seen at left) played for 30 minutes at an altitude that according to their GPS was 6,068 meters (19,908 feet) above sea level, and plan to present this to the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest concert ever played.
