Episode 25: Juan Bautista Túpac Amaru Ñak’ariran [Spanish & Quechua]
In this episode, bilingual Spanish-Quechua, we interview historian Charles F. Walker about his book Juan Bautista Túpac Amaru Ñak’ariran. Maqanakuy watakuna rikuq (Oxford University Press & Centro de Estudios Regionales Bartolomé De las Casas de Cusco, 2024 [originally published in English, 2020]). We also spoke with Rosalía Puma Escalante, who translated the book from the Spanish edition to Quechua. Juan Bautista Túpac Amaru, the half-brother of José Gabriel Condorcanqui (Túpac Amaru II), played a significant role in the rebellion against colonial authorities from 1780 to 1783. This uprising was the largest insurrection in the history of the Spanish Empire. While the prominent leaders, Túpac Amaru and his wife Micaela Bastidas, were brutally executed, Juan Bautista survived decades of imprisonment in Peru, Spain, and North Africa. He was finally released and moved to Argentina in 1822, but sadly, he died before he could return to Cusco, which had always been his dream. Thank you for listening to the Kuskalla Podcast.

Their conversation emerged from a music collaboration in Tokyo, focusing on Quechua songs and their meanings in the Andean world. Irma, originally from Huarcas (Ayacucho, Peru), grew up with Andean traditional music before migrating to Lima and then Japan, where she teaches Quechua and promotes Ayacucho music and dance. The album features three tracks highlighting the region’s musical diversity, including Pumpin, Huayno, and Carnival. The album title “Ayla” symbolizes the seeding of life and the coexistence of humans, animals, and plants. As Irma explains, “The eight Quechua songs on this album are the result of my encounters with people who believe in music as a deep, quiet, and calming force that allows them to continue to exist just as they are.” Thank you for listening to the Kuskalla Podcast.
