My new collaboration with @martinsgarden is out now on @merkaba-music-1

The track include instruments like chinese erhu, indian sarangi, bamboo flute and acoustic guitar.


In Buddhism, SAMSARA is often defined as the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Or, you may understand it as the world of suffering and dissatisfaction, the opposite of nirvana, which is the condition of being free from suffering and the cycle of rebirth. 

In literal terms, the Sanskrit word SAMSARA means "flowing on" or "passing through." It is illustrated by the Wheel of Life. It might be understood as the state of being bound by greed, hate, and ignorance, or as a veil of illusion that hides true reality. In traditional Buddhist philosophy, we are trapped in samsara through one life after another until we find awakening through enlightenment.
However, the best definition of SAMSARA, and one with more modern applicability may be from the Theravada monk and teacher Thanissaro Bhikkhu:
 "Instead of a place, it's a process: the tendency to keep creating worlds and then moving into them." And note that this creating and moving in doesn't just happen once, at birth. We're doing it all the time."

Lo.Renzo x Martins Garden - When Flowers Bloom

"Fragrance," by Liquid Bloom and Bloomurian, is a mesmerizing sonic journey that unites the shamanic cultures from two regions of the planet, South America and Siberia. This track is also a fundraiser to bring awareness and funds to both Futuro Native and OLOX, organizations doing beautiful work to help indigenous people around the world.

With ancestral vocals from Inin Rao Shipibo and Siberian Sakha vocalist Snow Raven, this song transports listeners to the depths of the natural world. In addition, Yube from the Huni Kuin tribe offers his spoken word, adding to the rich tapestry of this unique collaboration.

The song blends traditional sounds with modern beats, using the haunting tones of the Siberian jaws harp and earthy jungle percussion to create an organic downtempo-electronic sound. The atmospheres and global vocals transport the listener to another realm, evoking the essence and power of ancient traditions. 

"Fragrance" is an immersive experience and invites the listener on a journey of inner self-discovery.

A portion of the proceeds from this song will be offered to 'Futuro Nativo' to support women weavers and embroiderers in the Shipibo village of San Francisco, Peru, as well as to support the Sahka people of Siberia through Snow Raven's project ‘OLOX’. 

We invite you to listen to the track, find out more about ‘Futuro Nativo’ & ‘OLOX’, donate to Futuro Nativo’s fundraiser, and help us spread the word!

The Futuro Nativo funds will go towards building a space for the sale of handicrafts from the Shipibo-Konibo people of the Peruvian Amazon to create solidarity and support women weavers and embroiderers.

The sale of handicrafts by the Shipibo people by women is an activity that supports the families' independent economy. However, currently, there is no space for the women to gather to create these handicrafts together in one place. We're excited to help change that.

The album begins with the sunrise, as each day begins for us here. The seed is then planted with intentions to grow and flourish, to reach the highest potential as a blooming flower. The 5 elements are explored: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. The 5 elements are needs to transform the seed into a flower, for the fullest expression to be witnessed.

"Seeds of Potential," the featured track from Shaman's Dream & Geometrae's full-length album "Home," is a musical journey that delves deep into the symbolism of a seed's life cycle. Much like a seed's transformation from darkness to light, this song metaphorically represents the human experience of growth and self-discovery.

In this musical landscape, the deep bass tones embody the dark soil and undergrowth of life. This represents the struggles and obstacles we encounter as we navigate our personal journey towards the surface. The delicate nylon string guitar, meticulously curated by Eric Llanos, signifies the ultimate moments of enlightenment and self-realization, akin to the sun breaking through the soil and a seed expanding into a plant.

Listeners are invited to explore the profound metaphor of personal growth, reminding us that just as seeds break through their shells and traverse the darkness of the earth to reach the light, our lives encompass both trials and triumphant moments. "Seeds of Potential" inspires us with a message of resilience and hope, emphasizing the innate potential for personal development and transformation.
