I would like to tell you a story of a young promising shipibo shaman who tragically passed away, his struggling family in need of support and a song collaboration that we made between the spirit and physical realms. 

When I came to Peru I experienced 4 powerful ceremony with Shipibos. I really connected energetically with one of the shamans, the youngest and most energetic one - Felipe Segundo. He had a great stamina and his Icaros were really powerful, at the same time he was a very gentle soul. I still remember when the big dose of Ayahuasca totally blew me into the fractal womb and I didn't want to come back to reality, but when I finally hearda voice telling me that he wants to sing for me and if I want to sit up and receive it. Just because of my respect for him I knew I need to be reborn into my body and so, all covered in my purge, barely seeing with one eye up and holding my self up into balance I got up and received his Icaro. Those ceremonies became the main reason why I continue to live in Peru and work with plant medicine and sound. 

After the ceremonies we promised to make a song together but I've never felt ready. Almost a year later he died tragically in a moto caro accident... I've felt I forever lost the chance to honor him with our promised song. Recently I was having a solo mushroom journey in the music studio of the Sacred Valley in Peru, I listened to some track and when it finished the next song that came on with shuffle was the recording of his Icaro from the ceremonies we shared. I wasn't aware I had it on my macbook among gigabytes of music. I understood this is no coincidence so I started working on my sound promise. 2 days ago the beother of Felipe Segundo wrote me that the family is struggling because of the COVID, they're sick and need financial support. They offer their handicrafts and need help. I understood again that these synchronicities are not an coincidence.

I am sharing the finished song to reach more people, a collaboration between the spirit and physical world, the jungle and the Sacred Valley, between me and a beautiful soul that won't sing again in the ceremony but his voice will always stay in the energetic body and DNA of the people he helped. Our promise is now complete brother. 
This is his last Icaro...

RAQ - The Last Icaro (feat. Maestro Felipe II)

From "Enamorado de la Vida" EP

Beyond light and dark there is pure consciousness, love and compassion for all that is.
Life is the dance between polarities and we are the magnificent dancers... Being open, unprejudiced and allowing for life to present itself in all it's forms of beauty without the concepts of imperfection is where bliss, peace and serenity derive.

I open up myself for healing and joy as a witness of all of creation's beauty allowing for life to nourish and bless me with whatever need i may have, receiving, learning what i came to understand.
In gratitude and awe i give praise, oh great one!
Aho!

All the Songs are tuned harmonically to the cosmos resulting in deep cellular and dna healing.
...the fruits of this summer and the fruits of love.

To celebrate the summer solstice we are incredibly excited to present Ñuka Shunku, the debut EP by Ecuadorian singer-songwriter Huaira. 

Support / Download: 

Based in Quito, Huaira is one of the leading names in the emerging Ecuadorian scene of young musicians and producers seeking inspiration in the country’s folklore and reimagining what it could sound like in the 21st century. Huaira’s name first received global recognition for her collaboration with Nicola Cruz on his track Colibria, from his debut album Prender el alma but on this EP her own talent as a songwriter shines with four beautiful tracks inspired by the incredible nature around her and Ecuador’s rich ancestral roots.

On Ñuka Shunku, which means “I am pure heart” in quechua, Huaira shares a sound that seems to embody Ecuador’s incredible landscapes -  the lush rainforest, the soaring mountains and the stunning beauty of her country. She presents a new, deeper, more spiritual aspect to the organic-electronic scene, as if drawing her own voice and lyrics from the earth or madre tierra itself. In her own words:

“It is sharing a message that comes from the earth itself, from the ancestors. Tangible ideas that materialise in music to inspire, celebrate and share the roots of our untameable America, a continent that never stops to remind us of something we often forget: we live in a paradise.”

On this EP Huaira worked with three of the biggest talents from Ecuador’s new wave of folk musicians, brothers Pablo and Julio Vicencio (sons of legendary Ecuadorian folk musician Mauricio Vicencio), and guitarist Diego Illescas. An example of the collaborative nature of the global scene, Ñuka Shunku also features collaborations with fellow artists exploring the meeting of folk or roots music with electronica Rodrigo Gallardo, and El Búho alongside Alejandra Ortiz from the duo Minük.

Huaira and her band will be on tour in Europe this summer playing in seven cities and sharing their show in places like Fusion Festival in Germany, amongst others.

“AL ESPIRITU DEL AGUA”

CALLING IN THE WATERS: a deep sonic invocation of gratitude to honor the spirit of Water, and the elements that make possible her healing, cleansing, transformational power within and all around us. Water, which we are mostly contained of, drops us into the present moment of our existence — an expansive reminder that we have only here and now. That our actions, our movements, and our intentions will ripple out from wherever we stand, wherever we dance. May this invocation to the waters vibrate like a prayer through our bodies for our Earth Mother - she who pulses us alive, in tune & on time with all of Creation. May this invocation clarify your consciousness, make clear your intentions, and awaken your power as a Human being Here and Now.

Featuring the vocal invocation of DRĖĖĖMY (on soundcloud @DREEEMY)
