King Tarahumara "La Tierra"

King Tarahumara breaks through space‐time like polyrhythmic thunder in a psychedelic lightning storm. Embodying forces of both chaos & order, Portland’s Papi Fimbres & Kevin Leigh Robinson melt minds & genres.

Issued in three “Chapters”—GOLD, TURQUOISE & OBSIDIAN—the series weaves funky fresh hand sequenced beats with ancient rhythms & chants, splicing in deliciously mangled samples with haunting flute lines & lyric flows (smoking our ancestors/ words turn to stars/ wake up! we've arrived.)

The Tarahumara are a tribal people of Northwestern Mexico, known for taking ayahuasca to see what their week will be like. True to their namesake, King Tarahumara pulls the listener into exotic new pockets of inner space through potent sonic sorcery.

LYRIC TRANSLATIONS:

"The Golden Level" - one note to the other / we're completely different

"La Tierra" - look up to the sky / open your eyes & close your past / with your feet in the dirt / movement of the future is certain

In Jeremy Narby’s The Cosmic Serpent, he describes how shamans from various tribes throughout the southern hemisphere ingest ayahuasca (a native plant resembling a twisted vine, ladder or double helix) to gain access to divine knowledge.  His research led him to the discovery that this divine knowledge is present in the DNA (the structure of which also resembles a twisted vine, ladder, or double helix) of every living organism and forms the basis for our collective unconscious.

King Tarahumara’s Mystic Mixtape Trilogy is essentially audible ayahuasca.  A year in the making, every track was painstakingly handcrafted to offer shamanic guidance.  In “Chapter 1: GOLD,” the listener is prepared for take off and initiated into a mind-expanding journey through the cosmos, eventually landing back on earth, feet firmly planted in the soil.  What you choose to see, hear, feel, taste and touch on that journey is up to you.  We encourage you to partake in the experience.

Sonnet LXXXVII (87)
 
All hail ye Comrades of Mortality!
Come join the feast of earth’s diverse rewards.
Cast off the armor of morality
And leave behind your pistols and your swords.
Surrender to the cause you’ve fought against -
Behold! Your enemy is now your friend.
Those demons battled with clenched jaw and fist
Are not as evil as you would pretend.
For here we’ve built a heaven of our own;
Flawed, perhaps, but full of grace and glory.
Hell is for those who wander all alone,
Ashamed of imperfection, full of worry.
Oh! Pray you don’t fall victim to their logic!
They’d have you renounce Beauty, Truth and Magic.

King Tarahumara "Fourteen Fingers"

Alpha waves are brainwaves between 8 and 12(Hz). Alpha waves will peak around 10Hz. Good healthy alpha production promotes mental resourcefulness and enhances overall sense of relaxation. Alpha appears to bridge the conscious to the subconscious. When your alpha is within normal ranges we tend to also experience good moods, see the world truthfully, and have a sense of calmness. You can increase alpha by closing your eyes or deep breathing or decrease alpha by thinking or calculating. Alpha-Theta training can create an increase in sensation, abstract thinking and self-control. 
**FOR HEMISPHERIC BRAIN ENTRAINMENT** - DO NOT LISTEN IF YOU SUFFER FROM EPILEPSY.
