Quechua Cultural Night at the University of Miami

We shared music, language and food. Many UM students and Miami citizens participated in our first Quechua Cultural Night. Many people performed  Andean songs in Quechua, including the Kuyayky group. We also shared some phrase in Quechua to the public. We had a great time. /

Compartimos música, comida y una lengua hermosa. Estudiantes de la Universidad de Miami y residentes de Miami participaron en nuestra pirmera noche cultural Quechua. Varias personas presentaron canciones en Quechua, incluyendo el grupo Kuyayky. También el público aprendió algunas frases en Quechua. Todos pasamos un buen momento.

Quechua in public spaces

We are pleased to launch an initiative to promote the expose of Quechua in public spaces. Many Peruvian Restaurants in Miami have become our partners by posting signs we created. They are in Quechua and English. We are still looking for more Andean places (Bolivian, Ecuadorian, Peruvian, etc) to post them.
