Anda, corre, y dile a mi Pachakamaq Y a mi madre linda Pachamama Que en una montaña lloro muy sediento Por unas gotitas de tus aguas. Hojita de coca, ay, adivíname mi suerte Qué será mi vida, qué será mi muerte Y eleva mi voz en mi aliento. Anda, corre, y dile a mi Pachakamaq Y a mi madre, linda Pachamama Que en una montaña lloro muy hambriento Por tu medicina y alimento. Aguilita negra, que vas abriendo tus alas Volando muy alto, mirando muy lejos En tus alas lleva mis sueños. Anda, corre, y dile a mi Pachakamaq Y a mi madre linda Pachamama Que en una montaña lloro y me lamento Por una visión para mi pueblo. Apu Markawasi, tú habías sido esa montaña Donde yo he sembrado flores de mi vida Sólo por cantar mi walina. Anda, corre, y dile a mi Pachakamaq Y a mi madre linda Pachamama Que fuiste testigo, que dejé mis rezos Y en tu corazón dejé mi vida.
	LA SEÑORA DE SIPÁN Director/writer: Javier Zapata Innocenzi Animation: Flavio Fernandini Figari Music: Javier Zapata Innocenzi, Gustavo Chavez Year/length: 3 minutes Setting: Peru, Pre-Colombian times Language: Spanish Culture: Moche, Chavin, Chimu, Inka Indian Content: high Released on: Youtube	This is a short musical celebrating La Señora de Sipán. Sipán is one of the most important archaeological sites in Peru. Excavated in 1987, the Royal Tombs of Sipán revealed an unprecedented wealth of information on the Moche culture that thrived from around 100-700 AD. In this cartoon, La Señora de Sipán is friends with other fictional women from other cultures on the northern coast of ancient Peru--La Mamá de los Chavin, La Vecina de Chan Chan, La Chica de Mochica-- and even La Dama de Ampato, which was an Inka maiden of the sun found on Ampato Mountain near Arequipa (named after the archaeologist, Johann Reinhard, who found her). In reality not all of these cultures existed at the same time. Nevertheless, this is a very entertaining cartoon that will get people interested in learning more about Peru. Available on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrFQRLYFDHg Sinopsis en español: No hay mejor manera de recordar un tema que con música. En este sentido Javier Zapata, autor del libro Camino Emprendedor, nos enseña el vídeo "La Señora de Sipán" que busca difundir la historia peruana, a través de divertidas viñetas animadas. "Tanto la canción como el video fueron pensados como un medio para motivar la curiosidad y acercar nuestra historia a chicos y grandes. La animación juega con algunas fechas y situaciones, y plantea preguntas sin necesariamente ofrecer respuestas. Confiamos en que los padres y profesores sabrán hacer buen uso de este material para orientar a los chicos e incentivarlos a conocer más de nuestra historia", señala el autor.
