Feeling It - Dance Temple Comox Valley September 2023 Live Guitar

Music by Driem (Aaron Handford)
Vocal samples: Nina Simon

New Dawn (Nina Simone Edit)

This track took shape over several years and was completed when I travelled to Ometepe Nicaragua and met the singer Zaia Ma.

Music & Production: Driem (Aaron Handford)
Vocals & Lyrics: Zaia Ma
Djembe: Éric Boucher
Saxophone: Kaelin Murphy

Exhalar (feat. Zaia Ma)

I recorded this track with the talented Kes Reid on vocals and lyrics.

Lyrics:

Ándate para la madrugada hijo siempre para adelante 
Es lejitos que hay que caminar mi joven 
Y cada paso es brillante
Tu pasado, tu pueblo, tu tierra es tu cargo 
Que nunca te olvides
Hay camino hay futuro, hay cantos y flores

Cuando la madrugada cae 
Anda en confianza 
Cuando la luna sube 
Anda en confianza

(Poema) Que la madrugada te brinda su copa bella
Que sus vientos te recuerdan de todo lo que eres, de todos que pasaron antes
Que el sol te alumbra como la piedra más alta de la montaña
Que seas la piedra, que seas la montaña, que caminas por el rayo del sol

Muyuririririri

English translation: 

Walk towards the dawn, child
Always move forward.
It’s far to walk, my youth 
But every step shines
Your past, your people, and your land are your charge
So never forget
There is a path, there is a future, there are songs and flowers 

When the dawn falls 
Walk in trust
When the moon rises
Walk in trust 
(Repeat)

(Poem) May the dawn offer you it’s cup of beauty
May its winds remind you of all that you are, and all who came before you 
May the sun shine on you as the highest rock on the mountain
May you be the rock, may you be the mountain, may you walk with the ray of sun 

May it be so

*************

Inspired by Kichwa Amazonian prayer songs, and the cultural honour shown towards youth.
