I was honored to be asked to create this mixtape, commissioned by the Latin music magazine Sounds and Colours. https://soundcloud.com/soundsandcolours

This mix represents a sampling of the incredible diversity of rhythms and styles of Latin American music, past and present.  The African diaspora has a heavy influence in Colombia, Peru and Brazil and beyond--these deep rhythms underpin the traditions of Afro-Peruvian singer Susana Baca and Cape Verdean legend Cesaria Evora as well as the Brazilian vocal group Barbatuques (remixed by Yemanjo, Ohxala and Marcelo Berges respectively).  Elsewhere the sounds of Andean flutes, guitars and charangos give organic flavor to the modern sounds of producers like Rodrigo Gallardo and Mente Organica.  Throughout, we feel the spirit of past masters and a respect for the deep history of these idioms as these producers bring them onto the dance floors of the future using today's audio wizardry.  

Tracklist:
1. Chancha Via Circuito-- Los Pastores (Rafael Aragon remix)
2. Yemanjo--Bosque Catedral (J•Pool remix)
3. Rodrigo Gallardo--Hacia El Horizonte (original mix)
4. Mente Organica feat. Lapola Kalu--La Llanura (SidiRum remix)
5. Susana Baca--Detras De La Puerta (Yemanjo edit)
6. Barbatuques--Na Mata (Marcelo Berges edit)
7. Nato and Sahale--Words Remain (Yemanjo remix)
8. Grupo Bahia--Rumba Chonta (Klik & Frik remix)
9. Cesaria Evora--Nho Antone Escaderode (Ohxala edit)
10. Yemanjo--Na Procura (Zuma Dionys remix)
11. Yemanjo feat ARKAWA--Alumbra Ya (original mix)
12. Lagartijeando feat Minuk--La Frontera (original mix)
13. jiony--Sincretismo (original mix)

This night was so magical, I have no words... The Netherlands are many times called the walhalla of Ecstatic Dance, with so many ED's (and dj's) for such a small country. This Night many of those dutch dance tribes gathered in the epicentre, Ecstatic Dance Amsterdam. We started with a beautiful, heart opening Cacao Ceremony and when the medicine entered, the journey started...
Feel the music, feel the vibe of the dancers and fall into a trance...dance...

PUMAH at Bang Bang II Second episode (5hrs of epic bar grooves) Jan 2024

When we gathered to share the most sacred Me and You, becoming less than two, as Marakame magic dissolves us in a turquoise sea, a temezcal, a crystalline playa in a village of tents open to the perpetual winds of transformation, opening hearts to the perpetually perfect Now.  

Viva Pachamama.  Viva la familia.  Viva Inner Refuge.

Don Juan Mezcal @ Heartculture Festival 2018 / Epic Paradise Floor Opening Set

Today on the podcast, I’m speaking to a man I deeply admire about one of my favorite topics: medicine ceremonies. Tony Moss is a community leader, a musician, and an ayahuasca advocate. Thirty years ago, Tony was heavily involved in activism, trying to change the world through protesting war and inequality. Today, he is a leading proponent of the legalization and responsible use of ayahuasca and other plant medicines for healing individuals and the world. 

Tony’s mother, Rejoyce Moss, was part of 1960s gospel act The Stovall Sisters, and he grew up in a musical household. His medicine music is informed by his R&B roots, a love of musical theater, and icaros (traditional ayahuasca songs) that guide healing ceremonies. 

On the podcast, we discuss his personal journey to plant medicine and how ayahuasca has helped him heal his ancestral lineage. We talk about his specific strategies to facilitate ceremony and build community, as well as how to integrate psychedelic experiences. We also discuss the racial divide in Ayahuasca accessibility. 

In 2012, Tony founded I.AM.LIFE, a non-profit organization that promotes interconnectivity through modern and indigenous wisdom. He is part of the musical collective Bird Tribe, which has just released its debut album, Birds in Paradise. Tony’s gospel-inspired hymn “Grateful”, my favorite medicine song, is featured in its entirety at the end of the podcast. 

Eventually there is no difference between your life and ceremony… your life becomes a ceremony. And the secret is gratitude.


Tony invites YOU to participate in a Gratitude Party and share your experience for the upcoming Grateful music video: https://www.iamlifeproject.org/grateful
