Renata Flores
Renata Flores Rivera is a Peruvian singer, made famous in South America by a viral Quechua cover of Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel", released in 2015. Career Flores began studying Quechua at the age of 13, and, growing in fluency, continued to do so at university. She translated "The Way You Make Me Feel" with help from Ada, her 72-year-old grandmother. In 2014, she participated in "The Voice Kids Peru", a Peruvian talent show. She went on to release several original trap songs in her ancestral language of Quechua, the lyrics often addressing issues faced by indigenous communities in Peru. In March 2021, Flores released her first album, Isqun, largely in Quechua. She also appeared (again speaking Quechua) in adverts for a perfume brand.
