"I combine my language with hip-hop so that, via hip-hop, my culture could continue living," says Eber Quisbert, a 40-year-old Bolivian rapper. Quisbert performs with his mentee and fellow Bolivian rapper, Carlos Orellana, 26, whose stage name is Andes Mc. The performers mix Spanish lyrics with Quechua and Aymara, two indigenous languages.
One of the songs they performed, "Jina Jina Mayma," tells the story of tensions between Bolivia’s indigenous regions, blending their Quechua and Guarani languages. The title means "Let’s go, everyone."
"We created a song like this because everyone just wants to live peacefully," Quisbert recalls. His lyrics aim to inspire unity and peace: "I’m from here, you’re from there. Let’s join hands, ready to move forward. Shout for liberty to the beat of equality. Leave behind prejudice, we are just one."
