Quechua video: Peruvian fabrics and dyeing presentation; Eng, Spa, Que captions

fi3m.com/runasimi
While motorbiking through the Sacred Valley in the Andes, I came across a town called Chinchero, and these ladies were very kind as to give me an explanation of how local clothing/blankets are prepared and dyed. To find them yourself, when in Chinchero (very close to Cuzco), ask for "Wiñay Away" (Calle Albergue).
The explanation is entirely in Quechua, the Incan language that these ladies still use themselves. I've included captions in the original Quechua, in Spanish and in English so that you can follow along!

[@paultrace3021]

These ladies are wealthy in ways that people cannot be made by money. The level of detail in the work gives me pause. I feel like I'm looking at several forms of perfection.

[@RoseDawn-r5z]

Wow!!! You are a fortunate man/traveler to be presented with This is an amazing representaion of Puro Culture, Pride and art! I am happy to see traditions such as these still exist, and are being taught for generations to come!!!!

[@WaterFor3st]

Wow! I'm glad to see this. Not many people know of this language and I only know of them because I like knitting haha.

[@JulianJuanli]

I came here to listen quechua. such a beautiful language!

Since I was a little kid I was fascinated with the Incas and wanted to go to Peru. I am finally going next year (at age 66!) I also learned to weave last year. I would have loved to take the Peruvian weaving trip and work with the weavers in Chinchero. I hope I can see the workshop!

Wow! Que interesante! Yo soy Peruana pero me mude a USA cuando estaba muy pequeña. Siempre e querido aprender Quechua. Benny, espero que lo aprendistes!

[@HerreraNavarro]

Es nuestra cultura y nuestra costumbre de vida. Y bienvenido todo extranjero que respete nuestra cultura y paz. Gracias.

[@GoemonLovesFujiko]

still one of my favorite videos .. I come back to it often.. such an amazing document.

[@irishpolyglot]

Thank you - I'm really proud of this one! One of the few if not the only video on all of KZbin with a captions option in Quechua ;)

[@lebowskiunderachiever3591]

Absolutely beautiful to me . I needed to see this.

[@Kathilisi]

Thank you for sharing! The language sounds very interesting, but I was even more fascinated by their explanations and demonstrations of their work.

[@eddyboh2723]

Great video. I'm peruvian and I'm gonna start taking some quechua classes for sure....

[@efrainsaune139]

+Eddy Boh i could teach you some.

[@sheilamayer3543]

Fantastic work! Its obvious these women are truly masters at their textile crafts, likely having learned from being at their mama’s or abuela’s knee. The main one speaking to the visitors seems a bit shy. I have been spinning and working with my handspun yarns for about 33 years, but much of what I know has been hard won and I am self taught using books and DVDs. These ladies know so much more and have some very different cultural practices than me here in the US. But I suspect we all share a love of the fiber, handspun yarn, and then dyeing and weaving with it. There is nothing more satisfying than working with your own yarn! That saqta root is a lot like our own bouncing bet AKA soapwort. We can grow soapwort here in NW Missouri, but it often does not easily survive our worst winters easily.

[@alkantre]

Me encanta escuchar este idioma. Absolutamente.

[@efrainsaune139]

peter browne yo naci en peru, parte de ayacucho y se hablar quechua, tal vez se puede hacer aqui para enseniarte

[@alkantre]

me parece buena la idea, aunque no se si puedo viajar de momento.

[@efrainsaune139]

peter browne no tiene que viajar, la techonolgia es un instrumento muy grnade que hace todo lo posible para estos tipos de trabajo. de donde es usted y donde reside en esto momentos?

[@tango-bravo]

I really enjoyed this. The main presenter is a bit nervous, but that’s understandable. These people are ancient and cameras and whatnot are not part of their heritage. I feel honored that they chose to share their way of life with the world after so many years. Peace be upon them. Keep up the good skills and traditions.

Thank you so much for the video! I am Peruvian but I moved to the US a couple years ago. I am now researching what places in Peru do incredible textile work and this is one of them for sure! Does anyone know what place this is? I would really appreciate it! :)

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

Native people 🙂🙂🙂🙂♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@zweiosterei]

Fantástico video. Acá en el Perú tenemos una gran cantidad de lengüas. Lastimosamente muchas de estas se encuentran en peligro de extinción. El aymara (sierra) y el asháninca (selva) pueden ser otras lengüas que quizás te puedan interesar.

[@jhonyermo]

Just like Che said, at least in the movie The Motorcycle Diaries, when he was in Peru/ Machu Picchu Was it the same for you Benny?

[@rwngditwiprasadofa5520]

What's call that hand made clothes. Because we ALSO make the sameway of clothes. From state of tripura northeast India rigion.

First, I watched it with Quechua subtitles, even though I couldn't understand a thing... and then I watched it with Spanish subtitles. I'm a bit of a freak, I guess :P

[@-yara-859]

Es que no se sabe de su escritura en ese caso solo se a válido del abecedario castellano para entender pero algunas palabras. It is not known of his writing in that case only valid from the Spanish alphabet to understand but some words.

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

Dude, native people 🙂🙂🙂

[@memeticshift]

Awakuj warmikuna sumakmi!

[@DiarmuidHayes]

Benny, are they politically organised in Peru like in Bolivia? (there Evo Morales has given the indigenous ppl new pride in their culture) ..you chose the cutest girl to do the video ;-) (amazing how she talks away with the baba on her back)..interesting how certain words are used from Spanish like Irish speakers using English words!

[@efrainsaune139]

+Diarmuid Hayes because the language of English comes from Anglo-saxon culture. However, Quechua borrows some words from Spanish, because there is no such words found in Quechua, if it was they have been lost on the way as the Spaniards tried to extinguish the culture and the language with the idea of 'civilizing' the Indigenous people. Concerning to your question of politically organized, the answer is no. The Quechua people does not have their own political or economic sovereignty, they do not have the dominion on their own lands, but they are dependent on Peruvian sovereignty. Anyways, i do wish they had their own just like in north America- the Navajo Nation. Perhaps, one day we will see that happen since we are(Quechua) the largest tribe/ethnic people in America and maybe in the world hehe :)

[@Pugsaroo]

How did you get Quechua subtitles? Are you fluent in runasimi?

[@Armandoch54]

James Yoannou The subtitles aren’t that good tbh (definitely very good for someone who was only in the Andes for a few weeks, but overall a lot of mistakes in terms of spelling)

[@citrusblast4372]

How come a similar clothing is worn with mayans? I think it was the tzutujil, the difference being the color of clothes and the hat

[@GoemonLovesFujiko]

Awesome! (hehe yes I am American:) ). Actually when I use that word I mean it. I was in awe when she got the red color from the prickly pear thorn stalk. But when she turned it orange with lemon juice? Mind blown. Thanks so much for capturing this and the translations as well.. Can I ask where you are going to practice Quechua after returning?
