Q-Pop

“Can pop music help preserve an Indigenous language?”

Synopsis

Q-POP follows 23-year-old Quechua artist and viral sensation Lenin Tamayo, creator of “Q-Pop,” a genre that fuses K-Pop with Quechua, an Indigenous tongue that has endured for centuries but faces an uncertain future among younger generations. As his music gains national attention in Peru and begins attracting fans around the world, Lenin journeys from a working-class neighborhood outside Lima to the streets of Seoul, chasing a dream that once seemed impossible. Along the way, he takes on a mission larger than his own success: using pop music to help preserve and revitalize the language of his ancestors.
