about

“The forest is alive. It can only die if the white people persist in destroying it. If they succeed, the rivers will disappear underground, the soil will crumble, the trees will shrivel up, and the stones will crack in the heat. The dried up earth will become empty and silent. The xapiri spirits who come down from the mountains to play on their mirrors in the forest will escape far away. Their shaman fathers will no longer be able to call them and make them dance to protect us. They will be powerless to repel the epidemic fumes which devour us. They will no longer be able to hold back the evil beings who will turn the forest to chaos. We will die one after the other, the white people as well us. All the shamans will finally perish. Then, if none of them survive to hold it up, the sky will fall.” - Davi Kopenawa

WARmth

Blindingly beautiful solo tribal nature ambient/folk. Looking up, I hear her cry split the heavens. Her blessing floats down to me, lightning, shining, cleansing. Her mark sears my body and I am transformed; my cry splits the heavens even as I am split, and remade whole. Dave Aftandilian

Moon Mourning Earth
by Moon Mourning Earth

supported by 17 fans who also own “Xawara”

Sweeping, epic, melancholic, vast, heavier than time. This album accompanies me on mountain hikes and forest treks, music that is resplendent in nature and as grounding as the soil beneath my feet. Beautiful audial and physical craft from Chet as always. Lake of Berra
