“¿Penetrará el hombre algún día el misterio de las cosas ocultas?
El velo se descorre ante él a medida que se purifica; pero para comprender ciertas cosas le son menester facultades que no posee aún.”

Oscura Noche (Supersónica feat NILLO)

Relato de la creación del Mundo en la voz de don Fernando Waisa
 Don Fernando es un Óköm, un cantor de cantos funerarios que guía con sus cantos el camino al Surakaska, donde el alma regresa a su Originadora.
Don Fernando pertenece al clan Korkuak, los clanes los dejó Sibö durante la creación

Creación (Feat Fernando Waisa Óköm)

Une météorite avance et s'effrite, 
Son chant est sombre et mystérieux...
Mes idées s'évaporent et il pleut.
Tu boues, tu t'évapores et tu pleus...
Goûter le son du vent, 
Entendre tes cheveux pousser, 
Sentir ta voix sur moi, 
Pendant que les bulles dansent vers la surface, 
Face à moi, mon nombril me sourit...

004 Lune Noire | Nillo & Sentidor Feat. Valentine Roche

"She beckoned him with her eyes, he tilted his head so that his face touched hers and placed his mouth on that mouth which was like a freshly cracked fig..."

001 El Viaje De Kamala | Nillo & Sentidor

Algo duerme mientras las ánimas que me habitan explotan en llamas en el cuarto, cuarto verde, adentro en la montaña, donde cada noche se empluman mis sueños, los que se traducen al mundo gracias a su existencia.
Algo duerme mientras muero y vivo, algo asecha en los bordes de la cama, algo que me transforma en guerrero cuando el cenit se derrama sobre el bosque.
La razón de este sonido yace dormida entre las velas de mi magia, lo interno y el rocío del alba...

Dormida

We were kindly invited by Sounds and Colours Magazine to be part of this album which contains new versions of the recordings of Vincent Moon in his travels over Perú, this song, a strong manifestation of magic inspired us to explore more percussion and atmospherical sounds than the regular to  recreate the power of the voices and give more enphasis of what is happening deep in that jungle when the spirits come to heal and dance...

When Nillo and Sentidor decided to collaborate in 2015 on the album SIBÖ their aim was to create a bridge between modern electronic music and the mystical chants of Costa Rica’s indigenous tribes. Following that much-loved debut they continue the journey on SIBÖ Revisited, albeit with a cast of like-minded souls from Brazil, Japan, Mexico, USA and Germany along for the ride. These collaborators keep the beauty and purity of the original compositions at their core, while offering up new textures and environments, pushing the album’s sonic palette into unexpected new directions. 

The origins behind SIBÖ lie with Costa Rican musician, producer and ethnomusicologist Nillo (aka Johnny Gutierrez). His passion for documenting the native sounds of his home country led him to study the music of the indigenous Ngäbe tribe. After gaining access to an astonishing catalogue of recordings of the tribe he saw an opportunity to shine a light on what he calls the “beautiful musical universe of the indigenous.” Nillo had already met Brazilian producer Sentidor (aka João Carvalho) through Soundcloud - owing to a mutual respect for each other’s music - and soon they decided to work together. The foundation for their compositions came specifically via recordings of one member of the Ngäbe tribe (Unchi) whose voice acts as a spiritual guide around which Nillo and Sentidor wrap layers of electronics, percussion, João’s own vocals and sparse but effective instrumentation, creating what they call an “electronic reinterpretation of the ancestral.” 

On SIBÖ Revisited, Nillo and Sentidor asked friends from around the world to create their own interpretations of tracks from SIBÖ, offering further reinterpretations of both those original indigenous recordings and the forward-thinking productions of that release. Remixers include influential names in the global bass scene such as Chico Correa, Pigmalião and DJ FoiMao (all from Brazil), Sainte Vie and SNRNG (both from Mexico), DJ Ground (Japan) and Zouyina (USA). As Nillo explains: “This revisited version of SIBÖ’s songs is even more magical because we are able to see through the eyes of artists we admire, another perspective of our own sonic philosophy.” 

The album highlights how electronic Latin American music is changing, taking a step away from the urban capitals and their mod cons towards something sacred, a trip into the expansive jungles, mountains and rivers so prevalent in Latin America. Perhaps Nillo puts it best when describing SIBÖ Revisited: “This is a journey which joins the past with the future, a journey waiting to be danced, along the river that flows deep inside our souls.”

El Río (Zouyina Remix)

Danza interna, esotérica
de miles de almas en pena
En las sombras de una selva me oculto
Mientras camina desprevenida la presa

El tiempo ha juntado lo que el viento no lleva
mientras me transformo en halos que devoran conciencia
El tiempo no ha pasado, la selva espera
y con ella miles de ojos rojos sedientos de luna llena....



Diablitos

Hay seres que se arrastran entre hojas secas y nostalgia
desatando  luchas interminables, desgarrando con veneno el alma
Al inicio del final, suspendido en la nada
comprendo lo abstracto de su batalla....
Aprendiz de Chamán, Curandero
Asesino de la nada...

Sample: flute, seashell & vocal extracts from traditional "danza de nacimiento los diablitos" from the Boruca tribe // Costa Rica

The traditional dance is a representation of the colonization days where the Spanish conquerors (represented  with bulls masks) chase the indigenous who wears the handcrafted devil masks.

The day before the celebration, at midnight, bombs are thrown into the air announcing the birth, that is, the birth of the little devils. These begin their journey in the hill Brugrá, in Boruca, or in the hill of King Curré, according to the town where the festival takes place. The little devils sing a traditional song called saloma and they sound snails of cambute and horns, after which they pass from house to house, where they are greeted with chicha and meals, while they continue to sing and dance intertwined with their arms to the rhythm of the music.

The morning of the celebration, the bull appears, whose objective is to kill the little devils. They face him led by the Elder Devil, in three contests throughout the day, during the three days of the celebration. These contests are trips around the community: the bull attacks the devils to throw them to the ground, where they can even break the mask. On the part of the little devils, the essential idea of ​​the game is to face the bull and provoke it. Finally, the bull defeats and kills the little devils, symbol of the Spanish victory during the conquest. The last to fall is always the Greater Devil, who represents the cacique. All the little devils are lying on the ground, an act that is known as the Tomb, which takes place on the last day of the party. After this, the bull flees and takes refuge in the mountain, after which, the Greater Devil sounds a snail and returns the life to the devils (in what is known as the Diabla), who go out to look for the bull. When he is finally found, he appears dressed in leaves and branches, and furiously tries to kill the little devils again. They defeat the bull and sacrifice it in a bonfire. The death of the bull is repeated several times throughout the day. The "corpse" of the burning bull is paraded by the community, and its pieces are sold or given symbolically to the attendees, representing their flesh, while the chicha represents their blood. Finally, his remains are burned in a bonfire, and a great party is celebrated celebrating the victory of the little devils over the bull.

Released as part of Sounds and Colours' 10th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign this compilation features new, rare and unreleased music from across Latin America, including exclusive tracks by Orkesta Mendoza with Mexican Institute of Sound and Calexico, a first listen to Monte, the new project from Bomba Estereo's Simón Mejía, brand new music from Chile's hugely influential ESDLCP, two acoustic recordings from Brazil's Kassin (including a beautiful Kraftwerk cover) and many original songs created exclusively for this compilation, as well as other new tracks and rarities.

All profits from this album will go towards Sounds and Colours. After 10 years of existence we are currently raising funds to make Sounds and Colours an even better resource for discovering Latin music and culture, and to ensure our survival for another 10 years (especially in light of the lost income happening as a result of the current lockdown). In that way, we intend to retain our status as a vital platform for Latin American musicians, film-makers, artists, writers and other creative souls to find an appreciative audience.

Find out about the rest of our fundraising campaign, which includes the pre-order of a 10th Anniversary book, and the sale of lots of vinyl, CDs, books, DVDs and t-shirts, at igg.me/at/sounds-and-colours-10-years-fundraiser/x/627815#/
