- 8 yıl önce
Renata Flores version of Michael Jacksons The way you make me feel has become a YouTube hit in South America. Something neither she nor her mother expected when they first made the video in Quechua, the language of the Incas . \r
Younger people dont speak Quechua because its seen as an old language spoken by uneducated people Renatas mother, Patricia, told BBC Trending.\r
But is their hit song changing this perception? And can a pop song really revive an ancient language by making it cool? We spoke to Renata and her mother about their mission to bring Quechua back to life.\r
