Vari/Slunce - Kuma Yuxibu & Kaya Waikiki

Kenemani Yawanawá cover.Gratidao Kenemani! Ihuuu!

Puyare - Buni Em - Roda 16.6.

Dau tibuya=songs that are sung when the visions are occurring in ceremony, the enchanted fantasy of the visions, preparation for the journey (even if you do not see visions, your spiritual body does)

I learned this song in the village of Boa Vista in Jordão, Acre, Brazil.

Lyrics & chords:

Kene keneya, Kene keneya 			(Em, C, G)
Kene keneya, Kene kene keneya	(D, Em)

Hawē rau tibuya, yube baũ rauti	(C, G)
Hawē rau tibuya 					(D, Em)

Kene keneya……

Yube isku hinari, Nai txãtxã bururi
Mabe tseme beimē				

Kene keneya……

Yube sanpu tarêra, Sanpu tarê keneya
Mia sawe matana					

Kene keneya……

Txana rêwê keneya (x3)			Kene keneya……

Dua Buse keneya (x3)			Kene keneya……

Yube inu keneya (x3)				Kene keneya……

Tete pawa keneya (x3)                        Kene keneya……

Yuxibu keneya (x3)				Kene keneya……

Kene keneya (Dau tibuya - Huni Kuin prayer)

This song belongs to the Txanima category of nixipae prayers. It is sung to invoke the force of the medicine.

I learned this song from Txana Shane who lives in the village of Espelho da Vida in the Humaitá indigenous territory in Acre, Brazil. Rua Inu Keã from the Jordão indigenous territory helped me adjust/correct the lyrics (the Huni Kuin of Humaitá region are relearning their language after having lost it, so some of their songs have mistakes in the lyrics).

Vocals & Guitar: Txana Siriani (Minna)
Djembe: Rua Inu Keã Huni Kuin

Matsi rau tapuma - Txanima (Txana Shane cover - version 2)

This song is composed by my good friend Nawa Pana from the Huni Kuin village of Boa Vista in Alto do Jordão, Acre, Brazil.

This song invokes the spirit of Muka, a sacred master plant that the Huni Kuin healers work with to connect with the force of nature. The photo is taken from the moment when I received my baptism with Muka from my teacher and father Pajé Meka.

Mi muka hunirã (Nawa Pana Huni Kuin cover)

I learned this song in the Huni Kuin village of Boa Vista in Alto do Jordão, Acre, Brazil. The melody is by Inu Keã and the lyrics are based on the traditional prayer as sung by Nawa Pana.

This song invokes the force of the river to help balance and bring healing.

Eskane rume (Inu Keã Huni Kuin cover)

Dau tibuya are songs that are sung when the visions are occurring in ceremony, the enchanted fantasy of the visions, preparation for the journey (even if you do not see visions, your spiritual body does)

I learned this song from Inu Keã Huni Kuin at Aldreia Boa Vista in Alto Rio Jordão, Acre, Brazil.

Hello Beautiful Soul! 

Thank you for visiting this profile and welcome to my musical world.

My name is Minna and I live in Finland. To read about my path and the journey behind the the creation of this musical space, check out my story here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r7lpynwmd33ukku/Bio.pdf?dl=0.

The majority of the songs I have recorded are my interpretations of prayers and medicine songs composed by various artists. I am grateful for the teachings and medicine that these songs have offered me along my journey and I feel blessed that these songs have come into my life and asked for me to share their magic on wards. 

I do not take any credit for these songs, and have attempted to acknowledge the original source if I know it. I know that ethically it would be most honorable to contact each composer and author and ask them directly and personally for permission to share their songs. At the same time I recognize that in this day and age, it is so common to find covers of most songs online and I also acknowledge my own limited resources to try and reach out to all individually. I know that many of those on the medicine path acknowledge that the songs they receive are from Great Spirit/Creator and that these songs have come to be shared and to contribute to the collective healing of our times. So, it is with this latter intention that I humbly choose to take the liberty to share these songs. And I apologies if any of the authors & composers should take offense at the choice. 

The recordings are accessible via various playlists. The “My Medicine” playlist includes all the recordings I have made and they appear in the order that they were added to the playlist. I often listen to the playlist on "shuffle play" allowing spirit to choose what songs I need to hear when. I am so often surprised by the perfection of the divinely orchestrated timing and order that the songs show up. 

Because there are so many songs and many of us have different tastes in music, I have also made separate playlists for the songs (categorized by language), so that it is easier for us to find ones that might resonate more for us.

I also share some playlists I have compiled for my own sacred ceremony work and for my study,

If you are reading this, thank you for witnessing me and for being part of my journey. To all my fans – I am so grateful for your support! Your listens, likes and comments nourish and motivate me at so many levels. 

I pray that the medicine of these songs offer you as much love, guidance and healing as I have received from them.

With Love,
Minna

P.S. For those of you trying to play along with your own instruments, please note that in most of the songs my guitar is tuned to the frequency of 432 Hz (instead of the more conventional tuning of 440 Hz).
