This EP was born from magical and psychedelic experience combining electric hypnotizing rhythms and Mururi (Uitoto) songs, creating a new sound that emerges from the mystical wisdom of the Colombian Amazon. It is a musical dialogue between producer and composer Miguel Navas known as Savan and ancestral grandfather Reinaldo Giagrekudo -guardian of ancient knowledge of rituals, dances, nature, myths, mambe (the original form in which coca plants are consumed in the Amazon) and chants- gathered in this two songs devoted to the arrival of abundance, the sun and Buinaima. They are written with a series of rhythms that comes form the heart of the amazon using the sounds of birds, frogs, insects and variations of the Maguaré and mini Maguaré drums, to recreate a sonic palette and a cosmic wake up call.
In 2016 I had the opportunity to work as a composer in an audioinstallation of the collective 4Direcciones on shamanism called The Origin of the Night, focused on shamans of the Amazon. The Amazon Ancestral Grandparents came one by one to ´the cave´, my recording studio in a humid basement of Chapinero Alto in Bogotá. We dedicated ourselves for several months to record indigenous songs, prayers and myths from the Miruri, Barazanos and Andoke indigenous form the Colombian Amazon.
The grandparents opened my musical and personal sound world in many ways, and the relationship with Grandfather Reynaldo was very special. I had the opportunity to weave songs of Reinaldo, edit them with the computer and synchronize them with some rhythms of the Maguaré (Amazon drum used to make calls in the jungle , the sound travels many Kilometers and it can bee heard from the distance) that we had recorded in an art museum room of the National University. These editions were shown to grandfather and smiling said, "so it sounds in the maloca. Miguel Navas
