Solo le pido a dios

Tukaluguti

Track 15

“OGICHIDAA”  is an Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) word meaning warrior, a fitting title for a piece that channels resilience and spirit anchored on Handsome Tiger’s signature electronic powwow sound. Built on deep, physical bass, the track weaves together global club influences, African percussion rhythms, and the shuffly swing of UK funky. The result is a euphoric dancefloor journey that moves with purpose and heart, celebrating identity, culture, hope and collective energy.

OGICHIDAA

We're battling that familiar pretendian pain, the stress of protecting pictographs, and the frustration with harmful paradigms. Despite all this, we're thriving, living with the magic of the land, and locked-in to our work as we move closer to a New Year!

Cenzontle — Songs in English, Spanish, and Nahuatl
by Xica Sonica

Cenzontle is a multilingual song project designed to teach and celebrate language through music. Featuring lyrics in English, Spanish, and Nahuatl, this album invites listeners into a melodic journey across geographies, generations, and vocabularies.

Blending cultural rhythm, accessible phrasing, and poetic repetition, each track supports language learning through intuitive sound. These songs are ideal for classrooms, intergenerational households, and anyone reconnecting with ancestral or community languages through art.

More than music, Cenzontle is a living learning tool — an invitation to sing memory into the present, and speak tomorrow with the tongues of our ancestors.

Use this album for:
- Language learning (Nahuatl/Spanish/English)
- Cultural education and immersion
- Multigenerational engagement
- Classrooms, homeschool, and ceremonial arts

TRACK DESCRIPTIONS:

TRACK 1: Makochi Pitentzin / Duermese Mi Niño / Sleep My Baby	

Makochi Pitentzin is a trilingual lullaby that cradles listeners in the languages of Nahuatl, Spanish, and English. Rooted in a traditional Nahuatl song, it gently honors the maternal — a presence that holds us through night, memory, and breath.

Softly sung in three languages, this lullaby becomes a bridge across generations, geographies, and time. It’s ideal for bedtime rituals, early language learning, and ancestral reconnection through song.

The original Nahuatl version of this song was recorded by Jose Raul Hellmer and now part of the the Instituto Nacional de Historia e Antropologia en Mexico and first recorded between 1962 and 1968 from elders in Morelia and Guerrero.

Translations into English and Spanish by Iris Rodriguez.

TRACK 2: Xikiyehua In Xochitl / Guarda Esta Flor / Keep this Flower	

A trilingual love song inspired by ancestral poetry and the enduring symbolism of the flower. Xikiyehua in Xochitl is sung in Nahuatl, Spanish, and English — weaving together languages of the heart into a tender, rhythmic offering.

Centered on the blossoming of a flower as a metaphor for love, presence, and connection, this song invites listeners to feel deeply and listen closely. Whether used for language learning or quiet reflection, it offers timeless beauty through voice and vibration.

The original Nahuatl version of this song was recorded by Jose Raul Hellmer and now part of the the Instituto Nacional de Historia e Antropologia en Mexico and first recorded between 1962 and 1968 from elders in Morelia and Guerrero.

Translations into English and Spanish by Iris Rodriguez.

TRACK 3: Ilhuitl / Día / Day	

Ilhuitl / Día / Day is a trilingual vocal offering that sings the 20 day signs of the Tonalpohualli — the sacred calendar of ancestral time based on the Nahua Toltecayotl. Performed in Nahuatl, Spanish, and English, this track carries the rhythm of days as memory, as movement, and as meaning.

Each name is spoken like a breath, a call, a rhythm passed down. More than a list, Ilhuitl is a melodic cycle — honoring time as something living, embodied, and still unfolding.

Ideal for those learning the calendar, reconnecting with ancestral cycles, or seeking sound as a way to move through time with intention.
