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.

This is a healing icaro for invocation of tribes, groups, peoples all over the world. Usually with the intention to
summon the spirits of the ancestors. And this to learn from them, to feel their legacy. We ask for their help by
accompanying us with their wisdom. "Tribus was for me (Marijn) the first song I composed on the N'Goni." (The N'Goni is a West African harp/guitar painted on the CD cover). "For me (Juanita) this song was the starting point for a much greater work. While singing along to the sounds of the N'Goni, a deep connection with Marijn was
created, opening up a new world for me which started in 2014 as The White Arrow. This song has been accompanying us for years during ceremonies. It has become an icaro that calls for the letting go of the grief of the past and to stand here and now in your power. We made a very musical 'heartbeat' version for the CD to emphasize the
atmosphere. A giant canoe takes you across the waves of the past all the way back and forth. We learned this song for our Maestra Ema’a, but the song is registered to Herbert Quinteros (owner of the song).

The white arrow is a wedding between two souls (Marijn De Wit & Juanita Pyl). What’s in a name? The combination of our last
names gave birth to this beautiful new soul to touch many hearts and to illuminate many paths. We chose to walk this road ‘together’. ALL THE MUSIC IS COPYRIGHT TO THE WHITE ARROW (Marijn De Wit & Juanita Pyl....more
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
