Name: Panati by Fred Clarke Alvarez
Duration: 5 min 22 s
Description: Panati, a chant of defense, is sung as the morning progresses- roots, the forest from within, and water. This is also a metaphor of how humans reach out for connection just like nature through its communication networks; the earth’s profoundness is at the same time the profundity of the sky, which relate to the depths of human experience.

Only in the darkness

Magic Spring

The Inka world and its chants “Inka bewa” are presented through morning images. The Inkas belong to that further spiritual world that is accessed through ayahuasca.

Meraya

2020

Inka Bewa

After dealing with darkness, there’s Inin Bewa, or the chants of joy that lighten hearts and connect with that perfumed existence. In this part, Meraya will also show traditional Shipibo-Konibo dances from the native community of Santa Clara, Ucayali Region. Specifically, Ani Sheati, a festive representation of that world of happiness transmitted by “chaikonibo” ancestors.

Inin Bewa

Benxoai chants in which healing occurs through a direct struggle against dark forces. The medicinal doctor, a strong Shipibo woman, sings and smokes a pipe; there’s fire, there are stars, while a Shipibo patient is being healed. In order to maintain poetry and metaphors, nothing’s literal: there is no voice-over explaining anything in Meraya, but rather images and music speaking for themselves.

Benxoai

Kano, or the chant that connects with the medicinal world, is also a word used in Ucayali to describe waterways and the thick traces of “kené” designs, or the patterns found in Shipibo-Konibo embroidery, painting, and pottery. The mythical origins of the “kené” traditional art forms are linked with the shapes of water and its supernatural entities, such as sirens.

Panati

The chant of “koxoni” at dawn- there’s fog, vapor, a sense of origin, or how elements start to meet and form.
