Quechua people
Yupanqui was born in Copacabana of Tola and Francisco Tito Yupanqui Sr. His family were "Anansayas", or descendants of Quechua people who relocated to Copacabana with the Inca. He came from a family recently converted to Roman Catholicism by the Dominican priests but like many of the time, retained some of the Aymara religious beliefs.
