Snezanabuddy (4 months ago) I'm Europien but I love this. Can sameone tell me what is this song about. Please!!!!
katydidscorner (4 months ago) You can click on the more link in upper right corner for English translated lyrics. It's about a young native man, maybe a boy, whose parents have died and gone to the spirit world. He sees a bird which he believes is a message from his mother and father. He cries because he can't stop thinking about them. He reaches up to the Eagle or Condor, but the bird tells him he can't come to his parents and must stay in the natural world which makes him sad. Alborada acts it out here

blood of the ancesters in my vains
blood of the nation in my soul
blood of the land in my heart
take any one from me and the other shall seek its return
give back what was taken from the earth
and the skies shall rejoice in your shadow and your path shall never be covered
hold the wind in your hand
seek the mountains under your feet
breath the clouds on the path of wonders
all is to be embraced as one with the other take anyone away and the others shall seek its return

DeepOceanLegend (4 months ago) This is a beautiful song and the images are powerful indeed. Does anyone know what it means? Can anyone translate Quechua? I would also like to ask, with all do respect... Since the song is in Quechua why not use Inca images and or images from Peru? Peru is a beautiful country. I've been fortunate to have been in Machu Piccu. Talk about "Power Places on this Planet"!!! Oh My God!

****

katydidscorner (4 months ago) This music video was made before I knew the song was in Quechua. I made another music video of the same song/different group with pics of South America.
See the more link for English translation.

BrianWilkesMedia (2 months ago) Great work Katy!
If Peruvians can blend Quechua songs with Northern Plains rhythms, you can use North American Indian images to accompany it.
My work in Peru has shown me that the Elders there are very aware of Cherokee history and tradition, and have story of our ancient exchanges, stories that have been verified to me by the Elders at Tahlequah.
Don't let the web-whiners and haters get you down!

****

katydidscorner (2 months ago) Thank you so much for supporting me. Both Wayra and Alborada are famous for mixing up their music to include North American native patterns and beats, and this is one of them. except this one is by Reencuentros, a S. American group who also blend N, America native patterns with their music. It isn't a big deal to me, but some like to split hairs. Lol

****

katydidscorner (2 months ago) The Founding Fathers of the United States began with just 13 colonies along the Eastern Atlantic. They were ignorant of the size of North America and estimated that it would take 40 generations to fill all the known lands. At that time, they had no desire to conquer Natives and take their lands,. It wasn't until Andrew Jackson sent Lewis and Clark to the West that knowledge of the vastness of the continent became known. Blame for the theft of Indian lands falls on leaders of 19th Century.

callmetricia (2 months ago) Hey we still exist! lol. ANd it is great there's alot of history.

yuccs62 (2 months ago) Great! this type of music, which reaches deep into the soul, must never be forgotten. Thank you, Katy!

Punisher69ForU (2 months ago) Show Hide +2   Marked as spam Reply | Spam It this language Quechua from Peru?

It sounds very sad and beautiful at the same time. Keep the Indian Spirit high.

****

katydidscorner (2 months ago) Yes, it is Quechua. You can read the more link for the English translation.

****

katydidscorner (2 months ago) There are many language/dialect groupings of Quechua. This group is Reencuentros and are better than Alborada with this song. That's just my opinion, though. :D

****

callmetricia (2 months ago) Is there anyway I can get this song? I'm trying to head up my universities Native American Student Organization and we really need a website! PLease? Thanks.

****

katydidscorner (2 months ago) This version of Chirapaq is by Reencuentros. I give a link to their website in the more section which is called Reencuentros Productions, but when you get there, there is no method for English or anyone outside of S. America to be able to purchase their beautiful songs. I got this cd at a powwow, but I haven't seen it since. I don't think they even know how many people here on youtube love this song.

coupleofbeers31 (1 month ago) Words can't describe how beautiful this video is....thanks for uploading!

****

bklynzfresh (1 month ago) This song is in Quechua how come thers pictures of North american Indians and none of the andean indians? Either way great music

****

coupleofbeers31 (1 month ago) Native Americans are one and the same great race whether it's the Cherokees of Oklahoma, the Quechua from Peru, the Cuna in Panama, the Canadian Nations, the Eskimo in Alaska, the Mapuches of Chile, the Tainos of Puerto Rico, the Sioux of South Dakota, and the list goes on.....they are all Native Americans. Notice how even the music of North American Natives is similar to this Quechua music.....beautiful and pure were our ancestors.....

****

coupleofbeers31 (1 month ago) This song makes me proud of my Native American ancestry----Inca Nation PERU

****

TheSpaztasticShow (1 month ago) This is really good, what is the song, and what language?check out my vid about indians

****

trisash (1 month ago) The language is Quechua which is an ancient language spoken by the Incas and Peruvians of South America.

****

katydidscorner (1 month ago) I thank you. And, as I said, I'm not trying to argue. I just try to point out that some of the things people have read or heard about Indians aren't necessarily true. While a few may prefer to be called Native American, most prefer to be called by their tribal names, and if generalizing, most of us prefer American Indian to Native American because white men trying to be politically correct decided to use that term, the Indians didn't. Even now, there is still debate about what is correct.

****

katydidscorner (1 month ago No, we no longer hate the term Indian. We have embraced it, and that is what we are. We prefer American Indian to Native American. Columbus gave that name to us because he was lost and thought he was in East Indies. The country India in 1492 was called Hindustan. Calling us Indian is only derogatory if it proceeds words such as "dirty" Indian or squaw Indian. Injun in derogatory. and insulting, but not American Indian. Read some of the links or wikipedia on the term American Indian.

****

katydidscorner (1 month ago) The mistaken term "Indian" is not derogatory to indigenous people, but the therm Native American sometimes is because that's a term the government decided to call us for political correctness. However, Native American includes anyone indigenous to North and South America, Alaska, Canada, Peru, Hawaii, etc. Red Indians prefer to be called by their tribe names, but if one must use a general term, than American Indian is the preferred term for most of us. I's not an insult like the N word.

****

katydidscorner (1 month ago) You are welcome here to post comments anytime. People will always disagree and some will never see the forest for the trees, but don't take others' comments personal. I have struggled with race issues all my life because I'm mixed with European and Cherokee ancestry. If someone tries to judge me for my or my dad's family's skin color, I chalk it up to ignorance. My grandmother was very dark skinned and endured a lot of racism, but most of her childrens spouses were of European descent.

1hennaahmed (1 month ago) there music is sooo COOOOOL!!!
one time there were a stall in my town, and they were selling CD's of this sort of music. & they were playing one some tracks...sounded awesome... I WISHD I'D BOUGHT IT :(

****

medallaso (1 month ago) The background music is of the musical group Alborada (dawn) of Peru.

****

katydidscorner (1 month ago) No, I don't think it is. This version is by Reencuentros. This version has merged North American native beats and sounds to South American beats and sounds. The language is Quechua, but this version takes on a rock/metal tone with the electric guitars. If you compare this version to Alborada's version, you can hear very disticntly the differences. Both are beautiful, but I like this rock one better.
 ere is Alborada's Chirapaq recording in session, and judge for yourself.

celticfair38 (1 month ago) Beautifully crafted video.
The art and music just flow into each other, to the point where it tells a story all on it's own, no words needed.
Visually stunning and the music was just astonishing.
I hope I get to this in the flesh one day, it would be a dream come true for me.
Thank you for sharing

Robowolf (1 week ago) This is the kind of music that makes you think of the real values in life, that are not the ones most people have in this economy driven society wich makes people greedy, ignorant and stupid. One thing comes to my mind when i hear the word indian and that's nature, and that's why i admire the american indians, because they loved mother earth the same mother that now, in these gruesome times we are killing. I am almost crying while im typing this post when i remember the ignorance we embrace.

****

MsSilverthorn (1 week ago) we share the same emotion, i too have tears for gaia. i came to this site to renew my faith in mankind. there is a divine messenger of hope in this kind of music that is a rhythm of the soul.

****

katydidscorner (5 days ago) Yes, it is a song in the Quechua language but with distinct North American native rhythems, drums, whoop calls, etc. Indigenous of both Americas honor one another by sharing cultur and music. Alborada and other Peruvian groups perform and sing about buffalo, etc. where there were none in Peru.

****

earth1231000 (1 week ago) i love this song!!!
does anyone know which part of america this came from!!

****

JayChouKaijuMaster (6 days ago) actually the song is made by the people of Peru in south America

****

Masterkajo1988 (6 days ago) pam Beautiful! Powerful, but also relaxing.

****

ad (18 hours ago) gotta wonder why do people think that if its native American music it must be just drums and flutes ?

****

katydidscorner (11 hours ago) Some either love the native music vids I upload or they are offended and hate them because they're not traditional. Thankfully, most appreciate the combination of traditional drums and flutes with modern 21st Century electronics.
