This CD is an artistic creative representation and interpretation of our ceremonial icaro's (shamanic songs). When we play them live, they are brought acoustic and often with no more than our voices and a guitar. For this CD we amused ourselves by creatively improving the songs with spheres.
This CD can also assist you in learning the lyrics and melodies, which is nice when you come to one of our concerts or singing circles, like a cacao ceremony. Together we join forces and bring light into every dark place. The tone in which the songs are played and written, is the same as the live acoustic versions.

Is an ode to our initiator Ema'a Drolma Mata. She introduced us into the world of shamanism. The song starts with some live fragments from a ceremony with Ema'a. At first you hear Ema'a with her assistant Magali. Both are no longer among us in physical form, but we still feel them strongly. The work continues on another level. We always feel very supported by Ema'a and are still very grateful to her.
Om tare tuttare ture soha or 'the green Tara mantra' is an old mantra akin to Tara, the 'Mother of all Buddhas', and especially to her manifestation as Green Tara. Tara, who by Tibetans also called Dolma or Drolma, is generally considered a Bodhisattva or Buddha of compassion and action, a protector who comes to our aid to relieve us of physical, emotional and spiritual suffering.
Tara has 21 main shapes, each of which has a different colour and spiritual quality. Of these 21 forms there are two especially popular among Tibetans - White Tara, which is associated with compassion and longevity, and Green Tara, which is associated with enlightened activity and abundance.
lyrics
Jesus (Buddha, Krishna, Ema’a,…) para Drolma (2x)
Jesus (speaks/lives) through Drolma
Bodhi Soha (svaha)- Bodhi is the light inside, enlightenment, or awakening. You see it and the vision of reality liberates you. Svaha is a cry of joy or excitement, like "Welcome!" or "Hallelujah!"
Om Tare Tutatre Ture Soha, Bodhi Soha
OM = Tara's sacred body, word and spirit
TARE = liberation from all discontent
TUTARE = liberation from the eight imperfections, the external dangers, but above all from the internal dangers, the mischief
TURE = liberation from duality; the true end of confusion
SOHA = may be the meaning of the mantra root in my mind

Thank you Maneesh, this is helping through some heavy work! Also I am often dancing to the songs. I really enjoy the menu of instruments and nature sounds…purring cheetah, owl, jungle birds and more. Very beautiful. The native sounds, beats, the ending of the album with the bells is a wonderful crescendo and my favorite. Like a music box :) blessings of ancestors, enlightened realms, and the mothers loving heart! MarieKarla1111

I heard a few of the songs from this album at a sacred sound healing retreat. My favourite tracks are Que Florezca La Luz and Nuestro Mundo. Absolutely stunning music I never get tired of listening. Dj Rise
