"The first time his family heard him speak Kichwa was rapping. Sumay Cachimuel was 14 years old. He was with his cousins at home in Otavalo, in the Andean province of Imbabura, and the youngsters planted themselves in front of his entire family and began to sing. "They just watched us and sometimes even laughed at the songs or what we were saying," says Cachimuel, who is now 33 years old. "In addition to singing this kind of music, they were listening to rapping in Kichwa to someone they had never heard speak in their mother tongue before," he reflects, sitting in the studio of Daniel Proaño, one of the members of Los Nin."
