 +====== Apu Ollantay ======
 +
 +Written by an anonymous playwright, //Apu Ollantay// tells the story of a warrior of a commoner background who rises to the rank of a general named Ollantay, who loves Princess Cusi Coyllur Nusta. In many ways, the play's plot follows their love but notes the various political power struggles at the heart of their respective positions.

 +===== Apu Ollantay Origins =====
 +
 +As the play was initially written in the Quechua language, it is considered by some to be of Inca origin. In contrast, others believe that it might also be colonial Hispanic in origin. The "oldest" known manuscript of the play is attributed to priest Antonio Valdés in the 18th century. However, due to more discoveries, part of this work has been contested as certain parts have dated to the 1500s.

 ====== Songs in Ollantay ====== ====== Songs in Ollantay ======
  
-There are three different songs in Ollantay: the first one, excerpted in the book, resembles the //aravi//, an ancient Inca lyrical song that could be not only about intense emotions like love, sadness or joy, but also the various festivities in the time of harvest. This song addresses a small finch (//tuya//) that damages the corn fields, and "Tuyallay" is currently used as a name for songs about harvest, accompanied by dancing and feasts. +There are three different songs in Ollantay: the first one, excerpted in the book, resembles the //aravi//, an ancient Inca lyrical song that could be not only about intense emotions like love, sadness or joy, but also the various festivities in the time of harvest.

 The other two songs are however, not //aravis//, but //yarahuis//, considered by some historians to appear for the first time in this drama. The other two songs are however, not //aravis//, but //yarahuis//, considered by some historians to appear for the first time in this drama.
