/><b>Reproducción del texto o información</b><br /><p> <b>Previously
untold stories are now being heard in Bolivia, often in languages once
excluded from public discourse.</b><br /><br />The streets of the
Bolivian capital La Paz have changed, as have the faces of power.
Previously untold stories of colonisation and hardships are now being
told, often in the form of colourful murals lining the main
thoroughfares of the city.<br /><br />In Evo Morales the country has
its first indigenous president and he has made promoting indigenous
languages a part of his agenda. Indeed, 75 per cent of Bolivia's
population is indigenous. Still, many feel that speaking languages
such as Aymara publicly signals low class and backwardness. "When I'm
on stage I see a bit of admiration from the public," says musician
Rufino Machaca Mamani. "But if I speak Aymara with my friends, they
will discriminate. They think that I'm a peasant and an Indian."
However, culture is the first step to changing perceptions of Aymara
and other indigenous languages. A lot of modern music is now being
made and sung with lyrics in languages previously excluded from the
public discourse. Aymara rapper Abraham Bohorquez says: "We do
hip-hop, and at the same time we reclaim the cultural identity of our
communities. Five years ago, many young people were ashamed of being
Aymara or Quechua." In Bolivia, the movement for change from within is
starting with pride.<br /><br /><b>Living the Language</b> can be seen
