Air date: Aug 09, 2017

For almost two centuries, it was believed that the Chaná language, one of the oldest in Argentina, had disappeared. But, at the beginning of 2005, a 71-year-old retiree from the city of Paraná, Province of Entre Ríos, declared that he spoke Chaná. The news caused a strong impact in the linguistic fields. Since then, Don Blas has worked tirelessly to spread and revitalize his language and his culture.
