The Apukuna Breath Medicine series of mixes is a gift in support of personal healing, transformation and growth. As one of my teachers reminds - we come to earth with a carefully constructed "care package" known as our breath.  [Full series playlist: https://soundcloud.com/apukuna/sets/apukuna-breath-medicine]

Our breath is the most readily accessible medicine available to us. There are many ways to work with our breath and this series is in support of your practice. These particular breath medicine journeys are inspired by my own practice that is most similar to Holotropic Breathwork. For me, the breathing is deeper, a little faster, only through the mouth and only through the chest. Many others can find great benefit through the nose or using the belly. Best advice... experiment and listen to your body. With love from the mountains.

[mix001] - This 47-minute journey was recorded in August 2020 and has been my most trusted breathwork companion ever since.

"We are inhabiting and co-creating a global time of awakening from a dark age. A dark age represented by a collective crisis of meaning. We’re living in our own modern age Renaissance, awakening consciousness through art and activism. 

We are all vessels through which the revolution manifests, moment by moment reclaiming our connection with the healing of the soul, reclaiming inspiration and our sense of belonging.

This mesmerizing sonic tapestry by our dear friend NΛTURRITU, offered to the world in reverence of the spirit and wisdom of the ancestral realm, opens the gateway for a new channel of creativity: the Agami Podcast series. 

Tune in to receive the gracious healing of NΛTURRITU’s nourishing journey in this first episode, let your soul be cradled and spiralled into the intersection of love and beauty."

MIX: Apukuna - Ecstatic Dance Nelson (April 2022)

Might just be the most involved dancefloor journey to have emerged from the @apukuna sound! What a magical evening. There was barely a moment where 4 decks weren't all flowing at once and it was a true highlight to introduce Richie Hawtin's Plastikman to the medicine icaros of Shipibo maestros and Ape Chimba!!! Plastikman's Kriket (1994) was a formative sound for me and this live remix helps tell some of that story of my journey since then. Holding the Dance Wave together was my first live collaboration with Blutopia (@blutopian) who brought his synths, flute and guitar to help open and close the journey and fill the interludes. To all of you on the dancefloor... BIG LOVE for joining me on the journey! Offered to you as a meditation, a movement, and a prayer for an awakening heart. 💓

The result is a beautiful compilation of unique and stunning reinterpretations from artists like Mose, Binder, Steffen Ki, M.Rux, Derrok, Rodrigo Gallardo, Joaquin Cornejo, J.Pool, Tomanka, Janax Pacha, Walkerji and it also contains Maywas first production which is a revision of her own song "In Silence".

Cover Art by Adrián Callejas

„Essência „Revisions“  is the expansion of love and oneness I felt listening to nature, receiving the original „Essência“ album that contains the sound of nature and vibration of each magical place on earth where life invited me to be one of the bridges between nature and the human world. Bringing hearts and different dimensions together. Being in service to the music, unity and togetherness ... Multi-soundscape and oneness from the silence, listening deeply inside, and opening this space of co-creation with other humans, family in resonance, in reverence and devotion to the extraordinary diverse talents of all the artists that felt the call to co-create with me, expressing their soul into music, frequency, and sound.

Creating magic together, what a blessing to receive this gift and offer it to the world. Deep gratitude to all the artists, soul family, for the love I feel in each Revision, to co-create and share this space of passion for music, being one with the sound and honoring all creation, receiving the gift of the nature sounds and giving back to her this love, in service to the music she shared with us.

 Infinite blessings to Mose, Steffen Ki, Binder, J.Pool, Rodrigo Gallardo Derrok, M.Rux, Tomanka, Walkerij, Janax Pacha and Joaquin Cornejo. I'm feeling so honored by each artist that really received the prayer that I shared  in each song, through the sound of nature, my voice and instruments. In Each Revision, each artist transmits his unique frequency and sound to create a new space where the listener can connect with infinity from within and explore this feeling into movement, art, dance, or just closing the eyes and travel into this multi-dimensional landscape. „

WHAT IS "APUKUNA"? (artist statement)

"Apukuna" is a Quechua word meaning 'mountain spirits'. Following an apprenticeship into Andean cosmology, I chose the name to honor the people, the wisdom, and to invite deeper appreciation for their sacred relationship to land, mountains and the unseen. This relationship is available to all of us who walk this earth and is where much of my musical inspiration emerges."
