Leah,
I was wondering about those words too! How interesting! I
wonder why Belli chose to use the word “Quequisque” if it is the Argentinian word.
Wasn’t she from Nicaragua? And talking mainly about Central America? I wonder
if there was one for Nicaragua and if so what made her choose not to use that
word instead. The trees also seemed to
be located all over the Americas. Maybe her poem was more about all of the Americas
and not just Central America. The Quena
originated in the Andes which are also in South America. And yes it looks a lot
like the recorder that we had to try to learn to play in music class in
elementary school. I wonder if the recorder was made after the Quena. Very
interesting blog thanks for the insight!
