"Native" means "by birth", or first language. By far most Americans learn #Spanish as their first language, even if their ancestors spoke other languages. It's a sad story, of course. And it did not even begin with European colonialism. The Inkas already (partially) forbid other languages than #Quechua.

Para Quechua preferiría el dejo de la región de Pasco, no tanto el de Cuzco o Ayacucho pero bueno lo mejoraré después hablando con la gente.

  • Wakas is a heavy metal band from Chimbote, Ancash, Peru, formed in 2014 and inspired by the ancestral power of Inca culture and folklore. Their name comes from the Quechua word “Wakas”, which refers to Inca gods, sacred beings believed to hold immense spiritual energy. This concept forms the core of the band’s identity, guiding both their sound and their storytelling.

    Since their formation, Wakas has remained active as an independent project, building a catalogue that blends traditional Andean themes with classic heavy metal intensity. Their early releases include the Wakas demo and EP in 2015, followed by Metal de los dioses in 2016 and La supremacía del inca in 2017. The band expanded their presence with the live album El llamado del Uku Pacha in 2022, leading into their full‑length works Atipay Icha Wañuy (2025) and Real final (2026).

    Wakas continues to honour Andean heritage through powerful metal compositions that celebrate myth, history, and cultural identity.

    La citée en elle même est bâtie autour de « wayna Picchu » qui signifie en #quechua jeune montagne, a l’opposé de #Machu #Picchu, vielle montagne.
    Les terrasses que l’on peut observer sur le site servaient à l’agriculture, et les plantes cultivées étaient différentes suivant les étages, dont le climat différait légèrement.
    La citée fut abandonnée à la suite de la venue des espagnols au XVIème siècle.
