Can Michael Jackson make the Quechua language cool?

13 August 2015 Last updated at 00:02 BST

Renata Flores is a 14-year old Peruvian girl whose cover version of Michael Jackson's 'The way you make me feel' is a bit different.

It's in the Quechua language - once spoken by the Incas. Millions of people across the Andes speak the language, but there are signs its image is declining among younger people. Can Renata's YouTube hit change that?
