Shika Shika presents A Guide to the Birdsong of Migration, the fourth volume in its acclaimed A Guide to the Birdsong series.

This unique project brings together the songs of birds with the talent of artists from across the Americas, exploring in this edition stories of migration, birds and musicians who share the same routes.
This release features nine migratory artists from eight countries, including: Mas Aya & Lido Pimienta (CA/CO), Valesuchi (CL), Biomigrant (US), Diana Gameros (MX), Lagartijeando (AR), Terror/Cactus (AR) and more.
It also features some incredible bird species whose journeys mirror those of the artists themselves: the Canada Warbler (Reinita Canadiense), which travels a huge distance from Colombia to Canada, echoing Lido Pimienta’s own path between those two lands; the Rufa Red Knot, or “Moonbird,” which has flown the equivalent distance to the moon, reflected in Valesuchi’s own family history of migration across continents; the Buff-breasted Sandpiper, covering over 30,000 km a year, just as Biomigrant has traced his own musical journey across the Americas; and the Sandhill Crane, whose endurance and grace resonate with Diana Gameros’ story of resilience as a migrant navigating life between Mexico and the U.S.

In the words of The Birdsong project founder Robin Perkins a.k.a. El Buho:
“Music, like the birds featured on this album, knows no boundaries and these nine tracks are a testament to that. A Guide to the Birdsong of Migration weaves together stories of journeys, of hardship, of unimaginable feats, of longing and of belonging, of leaving home, missing home and creating a new home. Music has an incredible power to transmit these stories in ways that sometimes words cannot.”
Since the first volume in 2015, A Guide to the Birdsong has made a tangible impact: raising over $100,000 for bird conservation organisations, surpassing 3 million streams, and selling more than 2,000 vinyl records worldwide.

Biomigrant - Buff-Breasted Sandpiper

Shika Shika is very proud to present Mas Aya’s “Still, Flowing” - a 4-track EP that touches on themes such as family, intimacy and spiritual purposes, the title itself taken from a lecture by influential Buddhist monk Ajahn Chah.

Brandon Valdivia a.k.a. Mas Aya has emerged as one of the most prolific and respected musicians in Canada, working as a drummer and multi-instrumentalist over the past twenty years. He has worked with artists such as GRAMMY Award-nominated Lido Pimienta, Bomba Estereo, Not the Wind, Not the Flag, Laraaji, Sook-Yin Lee amongst others.

While influenced by many genres, the EP centres around ambient folklore with strong references to jazz and Caribbean music. Diverse percussion, polyrhythmic drums and ethereal flutes tie the music together, transmitting calm and rooted hope.

“Still, Flowing” begins with Capullo, a track that deals with themes of parenthood and family life, even containing a sample from Brandon’s daughter playing in the background during the COVID lockdown. The slowly developing piece lingers with a floaty Hip Hop beat and eventually morphs into an Afro-Cuban rhythmic coda. Featuring his partner and influential Canadian-based Colombian-born...  more

About this edit:
Some time ago I came across the music of Alex Serra, and it inspired me deeply. When he released his album Trance Life, he also shared a few acoustic versions on YouTube that really touched me. Listening to them naturally led me to experiment with this track, without any big plan, until it unfolded into an amapiano version. This edit is my way of honoring the expansive and organic energy of the original song, bringing it into a more danceable and tribal pulse.

Amassakoul 'N' 'Ténéré (estimua edit)

A hypnotic and textured piece, Eastern Feaver draws on mystic scales and subtle rhythmic layers to evoke the energy of ancient traditions. The track feels ceremonial and grounding, where spacious atmospheres meet soulful instrumentation, guiding the listener inward.

About This Track:
This began as a mixing assignment for my Music Technology College Course; as I dove 🌊 into the music, I uncovered an unexpected, luminescent connection to the melody and groove 🎶🥁✨

I am inspired to share this vibrant world I envisioned with you, here on 🌤️ SoundCloud. ❦

"...melodies awaken sensations of tropical bliss 🏝️, reflecting the essence of 'Frutiger Aero' and 'Solarpunk'— the dream of flourishing life 🪸🐠🐋 in a beautifully protected 🐚 natural world; where vibrant plants 🌺🦜, playful marine creatures 🐡, and healthy oceans 🪼🐬, all bask in the gentle embrace of warm sunshine..." 🌞

As we dream of this future, we also recognize the journey ahead. ⛵️
It’s a vision of the world we can create together, if we dare to aspire. I sincerely hope you do! 🌅

with love, - riley minteer 🦦
