From this perspective, non-Eurocentric of knowledge, we wanted to study the discourses of Quechua-speakers from Cusco concerning the art of the word. As they are no researchers of decolonial rhetoric, we lay the foundations of it in this paper, and for this, we use in terms of rhetorical practices refer the pioneering investigations of Portilla in Mexico, and in what to decolonial studies, to the investigations initiated by Rivera Cusicanqui. In this paper, we analyze the speeches that appeared in an assembly of a community of Cusco in Peru. We study the speeches that refer to speaking. The results show that for the assembly members, the art of good speaking is in having the power to speak and the power to give the word and have the power to persuade the other to shut up
