This young girl is from Ayacucho, which is in Peru. I thought this video was very interesting because we have not heard a lot of children singing in the examples used in the book. This young girl, along with the other young children, who I assume is her younger siblings, have probably heard this song many times growing up, or has been taught the song in some sort of class setting. The girl seems very excited to be singing the song in front of the camera. As she begins to sing she seems to concentrate more and more on what she is singing. When the two boys come on the scene, she sort of looks annoyed with them, but seems to already know that the show must go on.
Brittany, thanks for posting these videos! The video of the girl singing was simply precious. And then those two boys joined her: typical. Little boys are crazy, but have the greatest sense of enthusiasm! The Incan Band video was so ethereal. They did a good job capturing the spirit of the Incan people. It kind of transported me back to elementary school when I learned about the Incans for the first time. :)
