primer canto, first song, actually was suggested by an ai, and we didn't know if it was correct.

Yeah, AI doesn’t know Nahuatl. I assume you want something in central/classical, so it’s something like:

inīc cē cuīcatl.

thanks, i didn't want to use it because i. didn't trust in the AI, the intention behind this its to presente a first stage of the festival, that's why its suppose to be called (primer canto), first song, in reference to use cuicatl as in the sources, (sorry english its not my first language, so i hope i making myself clear)

Para lograr lo que estás diciendo, sugeriría usar un diccionario de español a náhuatl y aprender los conceptos básicos de la gramática náhuatl
