The (heart) openening track “Agradezco” is an expression of gratitude for all that exists in nature and the gift of life. Lov Lenka's soft and gentle musings enter deeper and deeper into the core of every cell, purging and purifying our entire being. Her musings are supported by an enchating arpeggio melody on charango and grounded into the earth by Xuqutopis tribal beats and deep bassline.

Lyrics “Agradezco” (spanish):

agradeszo..
..la madre tierra que nos da la seguridad
..el sol brillando que nos recuerda nuestra alma
..la agua cristalina que nos da la vida
..la floresta, todas las plantas y medicinas
..los pájaros y el sonido que me encanta
..por la vida, por la danza, el canto y alegria


 written, produced and mastered by @xuqutopi , Lyrics &Vocals by Lov Lenka

Hace mucho tiempo que quise sacar ese mixtape y ahora que salió el sol...es la hora!!

La inspiración de ese mix viene de un concepto sencillo: reimaginar unos temas que me encanta en un estilo cumbiero, más lento, más sabrosos ;) Mientras que estaba terminando mi EP Cumbias Imaquinarias (https://elbuho.bandcamp.com/album/cumbias-imaquinarias-ep) volví a enamorarme de la cumbia y su ritmo delicioso y pues asi nació el mixtape que mezcla todo desde Burial hasta Manu Chao y mucho más...

Espero que disfruten esta selección de música que ya conocen pero tal vez en un nuevo contexto o unos nuevos descubrimientos. Voy a agregar un playlist pronto pero por el momento escucha, disfruta y viaja!!! 🌞 ☀️ 🌞

I have been sitting on this mixtape for a little while now but decided, the sun is shining, it's time for some new music.

This mix is inspired by a simple concept: some tunes I love reimagined in a new context cumbiero. As I was finishing my last EP Cumbias Imaquinarias (https://elbuho.bandcamp.com/album/cumbias-imaquinarias-ep) I  went back to some Cumbia roots and decided to make this slightly mad mixtape of all sorts of music with Cumbia as the thread running through the mix. Everything from Manu Chao to Burial ;)

Hopefully you discover music you know and love in a new light and maybe even some new music ;) I will add a tracklist soon but for now, jump in, immerse yourself and enjoy the Cumbia sunshine!! 🌞 ☀️ 🌞

The Fire Within
from Offerings (Reggae Sitar) by Prosad
Offerings (Reggae Sitar) 
cover art by nekhat

An ambient sitar journey painted on the backdrop of a dub inspired mix - warm, full of bass and resting on a slow, soulful groove. Blending classical Indian sitar with a down-tempo one-drop, this track was inspired by time spent in New Zealand and by a continuing study of classical sitar. It features the incredible Ed Hanley on tabla.

Offerings

The Fire Within

Wahe Guru...an expression of ecstatic awe of the Divine.  "Guru" is one who brings us from darkness to light. "Wahe" is a statement of ecstacy and awe.  Chanting this mantra expresses, honors, and quickens the journey of liberation and illumination.

Wahe Guru

“Cicada Sessions”, as the debut EP is called, derived it’s name from the cicadas that were constantly singing while the sun was up… so much so that the album had to be produced at night, with recording sessions starting at sunset and lasting until sunrise. The cicadas and many other sounds of nature even made their way subtly into the music throughout the EP. The music created by this distinctive pair is a unique and deliberate collaboration of electronic production with live and very real performances. Many of the solos were recorded in a single take and left “as is”.

Taking inspiration from elements of dub, roots, jazz & downbeat electronica, Nachur fuses modern digital production with earthy analogue warmth. The songs are glued together with delay and soaked in reverb, creating deep atmospheric soundscapes. Crunchy electronic beats and reggae basslines are seamlessly interwoven with sitar, guitar, bansuri flute, didgeridoo and melodica. Epic guitar solos reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd are arranged with Eastern sitar and indigenous instruments to take the listener on a true journey. Nachur smoothly mixes these organic and digital sounds, hoping to help 21st Century humans reconnect with the beauty of nature and with their own source.

Both Isaac and Prosad wanted to create a project that was a true collaboration, with no agenda and no attempt to market to a genre; their goal was simply to create music that conveys positivity and their deep love for nature. Because of this intention, Cicada Sessions became a concept album - meant to be listened to from start to finish, with quality speakers or headphones. So turn the lights down low and let these songs take you on a 3 dimensional journey through sound.
It is an enigma… on one hand mellow and calming, yet on the other upbeat and energizing.

We hope you can feel the warmth in this heartfelt music, which was inspired by the muses that must still be living in the old forests of Aotearoa.

Chur Chur,
Isaac and Prosad

Beyond The Dream (Prosad & Isaac Chambers / Nachur)

Ṛtam es un proyecto musical holístico que integra la expresión artística con el camino de la expansión de la conciencia.

 ऋतम्  ó Ṛtam es el ritmo, el ritual, lo verdadero, la ley cósmica.

A través de cada paisaje sonoro, cada melodía, cada instrumento que tocamos, nos ponemos al servicio de nuestro espíritu para entrar en contacto con la esencia del cosmos: Sonido, Vibración, Palabra.

Cada pieza musical es un rezo, una oración, una ofrenda al canto de la vida, a la consciente conciencia cósmica.....

Shamanic Dream 4 nace inspirado en Anugama, gran maestro sonoro que nos motivó internamente para crear este viaje. El manifestar esta música y compartirla es nuestra forma de agradecimiento. 

Ṛtam somos Guido Bonano y Germán Darío Mugnolo

Rise (Om Shanti)

This song was recorded many years ago and never released... until now. I am happy to say that I finally made the time to polish this track and set it free into the world. The beats were originally made by my good friend, Gary Diggins. I pitch shifted them to match the sitar and doubled the drums with a bit of programming. I then added a touch of my favorite reverb and delay to really accentuate the haunting melodies in the sitar. Enjoy!

This track was recorded in Toronto and later finished in Saskatoon. It is featured in the independent feature film, Nice2MeetU, written and directed by Naveen Medaram, for which I scored the music. I love the sitar in this track. It is interesting that I hear the pathos in the notes as beautiful and soft and yet it was used in a very intense scene in the movie (I won't spoil it for you). The contrast of the beautiful music with the onscreen intensity created a tension and juxtaposition of two opposite worlds that worked very well in the film.

I also really love the sense of space and breath in this mix. The sitar was recorded in one take, with no editing. The sensual bending of the sitar notes is very expressive of the passion inherent in the piece. Enjoy!

The Way She Moves

-Interlude- 
-Fall-

Leaves they fall
All to the ground
Spreading their color 
All around
A life fully lived
Whispers in the wind
Disintegration

Fernweh (Prosad & Isaac Chambers / Nachur)

Blanket of fog rolls into the canyon in the night and lingers in the dawn light. Creeks that cut deep into the green shadows and blue waves that kiss the perfect coastline. Breathe the air that mixes forest and sea. Sit quietly. Relax completely. Ask for permission to see the world from outside.
