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.

On the tones of this song we hand out the cacao drink at the start of a cocoa ceremony. This song is a hymn to the spirit of cocoa. Cacao is a spirit that connects hearts and connects people. In this song we also evoke the spirit of other master plants such as the Tobacco, which we use at every cacao ceremony to keep the focus and sink deeper, to protect and let go of what no longer is needed for you. When sung live, it is mainly a song of joy with a gentle stimulation of the fragile emotional heart through the connection with everyone around you.

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
