Thank you. Welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service. I am Mart Riepe and we are in the studio exploring the processes of the world's most creative people with Peruvian singer Lening Tamayo.

Lening's music is deeply rooted in the indigenous cultures of the Andes using Andeans

instruments, melodies and mythology. He sings part in Spanish and part in Ketcho, his mother tongue, and the language that was once the official language of the Inca Empire.

But Lenin has also found creative inspiration in a very different musical genre, Korean pop known as K-pop.

Lening's songs mix indigenous Peruvian tradition with the contemporary beats and dance moves of K-pop.

Lening's first album went viral on social media.

He's now seen as the founder of a new genre,

Q-pop. I think in Quechua, they among

ku-pop, ketchup-a-pop.

I sing in Quechua, and people call it

Q-pop, Quechua-pop. That's the name it's been given and I've embraced this term

so as to be able to give it a label in a way. But personally I like to think that the music I make is a platform I'm constructing, which lets me

embrace my Andean roots with complete freedom without being alienated from globalization, from modernization.

Lening is now working on his second EP.

I'll be following him as he develops a new song,

La Jagta, writing it, performing it, and creating the music video. going to Lening at his studio. We've made it up north to Lima to the District of Comas, founded back in the 60th by Ande and

migrants coming to the Capitol.

As we approach to the door amidst the street noise, we can already hear music drifting down from the third floor of this house. Lening. Alla, I think that's good, I've just so.

With no certainly.

I've received one of the Los Gatos.

As I entered the building, I meet one of the studios many cats,

proudly guarding the door.
