KASHIRI NASHI,
an ashaninka story
Kashiri Nashi narrates with his voice and song the history of his people, becoming a promise of Peruvian poetry. Not only is it the only one of its kind, but it also represents a document of oral tradition.
The Asháninca or Asháninka people are a Peruvian Amazonian ethnic group belonging to the Arawak linguistic family. Nashi, originally born in her Ashaninka village, migrated to the capital at a young age, becoming one of the first Ashaninka singers, whose goal is to diversify her culture.
