Los fondos son destinados a los artistas y sabios Shipibo Konibo involucrados en el compilado
Los guardianes ancestrales de las plantas medicinales de los pulmones de nuestro planeta – el Amazonas – así como también del lenguaje, historia y cultura étnico-amazónica es la comunidad Shipibo – Conibo Xetebo. Y así como otras comunidades de la Amazonía, siguen estando en dificultades, no solo debido al calentamiento global, a la indiferencia institucional hacia las minorías; sino ahora con más urgencia debido al COVID-19.
Los líderes medicinales shipibos practican la curación a través del sonido y los cantos llamados ÎCAROS, y creemos que esto puede ser un punto de inspiración para la música electrónica. Es por ello el nombre del compilado, que en Shipibo Conibo quiere decir Behua - cantos,e Icára - para hacer curaciones, lo cual nosotros lo podemos interpretar como ritmos para sanar.
Agradecemos especialmente a la comunidad Shipibo Conibo Xetebo, por confiar en el proyecto a través de Olinda Silvano, Lastenia Canayo, Ronald Suarez, Wihtner FaGo, MC Shipibo que compartió su acapella para "Non Nete"; al padre de Wihtner, Pexe Nima maestro del Tabaco, por compartir su canto sagrado para "Moleküle", a Rawa por otorgar su ícaro para "Quincemil".
Agradecemos a todos los artistas por compartir su trabajo, más aún sabiendo que para ellos son también momentos difíciles. Por favor visiten sus páginas de Bandcamp, compren su música, síganlos en Soundcloud, redes sociales, todo ayuda!
English info
The profit goes to the artists and wise people directly involved in the compilation.
The ancestral guardians of the medicinal plants of the lungs of our planet - the Amazon - as well as of the language, history and ethnic-Amazon culture are the Shipibo Conibo Xetebo community. And as well as other indigenous communities of the Amazon, they continue to be in difficulties, not only due global warming, due institutional indifference towards minorities; but more urgently due COVID-19.
Shipibo medicinal leaders practice healing through sound and chants called ÎCAROS, and we believe this can be a point of inspiration for electronic music. That's why the name of the compilation, which in Shipibo Conibo means Behuá - singing, and Icára - to heal, which we can interpret as rhythms to heal.
We are especially grateful to the Shipibo Conibo Xetebo community, by trusting this project through Olinda Silvano, Lastenia Canayo, Ronald Suarez, Wihtner FaGo, MC Shipibo who shared his acapella for "Non Nete"; to Wihtner's father, Pexe Nima master of tobacco, for sharing his sacred song for "Moleküle", to Rawa for giving his icaro for "Quincemil".
We thank all the artists for sharing their work, even more knowing that these are also difficult times for them. Please visit their Bandcamp page, buy their music, follow them on Soundcloud, social networks, everything helps!
