In the Studio: Lenin Tamayo and Q-pop
Peruvian singer Lenin Tamayo, creator of Quechua pop, works on his next EP.
Peruvian singer Lenin Tamayo has been dubbed the founder of ‘Q-pop’. He combines traditional Andean folk music with K-pop inspired instrumentation and dance. His songs mix Quechua – one of Peru’s indigenous languages, and the official tongue of the Inca Empire – and Spanish. Lenin first launched his career when his videos went viral on TikTok. Now, he’s working on his second EP. Presenter Martin Riepl follows Lenin for five months uncovering Lenin’s process of fusing two very different musical styles.
