Medicine was blessed to have the presence of Ninawa Pai Da Mata and our Huni Kuin family at our gathering this last year. Their music, ceremony, teachings and prayers were at the heart of everything that unfolded during those five special days in August. 

We felt moved to honour their offerings by commissioning a very special piece of music, produced using Niniwa's original words and composition, and remixed by Daniel 'el Suchi' Garcia. 

Nai Bai Sitimu provides the soundscape for our 2021 aftermovie, but is also a stand alone piece of musical artistry and we are so proud to share it with you. 

The chant is calling sacred beings from nature and is traditionally used to open a ceremonial space. 

Nai Bai Sitimu is available on Medicine's Soundcloud page for free to stream.
