📜 🐍 STORY / ABOUT

Every medicine is an invitation to a unique experience and this one is an invitation to the Heart of the Forest, the great Amazon itself!

We walked into the forest and we stood in awe in front of nature's majesty.
While experiencing the richness of its sounds we heard the chanting of women from far away and we approached to find more.
In front of the burning fire, we felt surprised to meet two women with Indian headdresses in a state of trance, singing sweet and powerful chants.

Moto / Tonguere is a prayer, a blessing chant performed and recorded live by Asi Rua & Hukena Yawanawa to serve as an invitation for their first tour in Europe.

Asi Rua & Hukena are both female healers and medicine women from Brazil who have been studying and working with sacred plants inside the tradition of the Yawanawa Indigenous People.
In this live capture, the two female forces merge on a sacred melodic marriage and shapeshift several times under the force of their musical meeting.

This recording is an invitation to the seeker of the personal truth, to the explorer of the unknown, to the courageous defender of love, and carries a message of empowerment and feminine manifestation.
