I would return to Lima unable to talk to them and I'm worried because my hip-hop scene in Cusco would be incomplete. Fortunately Tony answered my message on the face and an hour later Janco called to coordinate the conversation (then I confess that only after reading some of my previous articles, it was decided to call it).
You have to climb a small slope to get to Tocsama, Janco's bar, but the atmosphere is cozy and worth doing. We talked, makes me aware of her things and two hours later we're in a taxi to Yana Rec Ball, the home study that are implementing to make their recordings and supporting some new Mc's.
Are known since 2006 but since November 2007 are Qosqo Rap, a relatively young but with the ambition to secure a spot in the national Hip Hop scene.
You were the first rap record in Quechua, speak to me on these issues.
One of our themes is called "I do not want" and speaks of chronic alcoholism, which is a very common social problem here, the father is dedicated only to drink and is absent at home.
Another issue is the Iskay munanacuk urpi (two pigeons who want to), which is the story of two lovers who are unable to be together, inspired by an old local story.
They've sung in Lima and I say they plan to come back and sing more often there, what other plans do you have?, Whither are projecting?
Janco: I focus in this way, if you want to do something, it does not stop you doing the rest. I work, I'm a student, but as I have time to make music. And more to come the children will always have time to do my music. Much will depend on how much we would be in the minds of people for this to become increasingly professional ... knowing that Hip Hop culture in Peru does not give you to eat.
But what I wonder is whether there are plans in the medium term.
Tony: The first thing is to start working on the first official record of Qosqo Rap, alongside local groups want to promote, help to spread your material nationwide.
As for the official record, what they propose?
Tony: I have four songs written and what we are dealing with is two concepts: social (as always) and the culture of Cusco.
What is going to differ from all other rappers and groups that also address the social as its themes?
Janco: We focus on social problems Cusco. For example expropriations in Saccsaywaman, privatization, monopolism Peru Rail ...
Tony: ... the disaster that has caused the rains and overflowing rivers.
When we spoke the cab of his home studio was half way, but today is voting list and new issues. I made them also a small video interview, here I leave to finish:
