Huni Kuin Chants with Zezinho Yube & Luciana Txira
The Sacred Song School initiates its fall season with chants from the ancestral roots of the amazon. Zezinho Yube Huni Kuin and his daughter Luciana Txira will be sharing traditional songs from the Huni Kuin tradition.
This is a very special opportunity to learn from the heart of the deep forest & share in the vibration of these healing chants.
About the Sacred Song School:
With reverence and respect to the original peoples and their ancestral language, the mission of the sacred song school is to learn from one another and embrace what makes each culture a unique treasure to humanity. Like beautiful birds living in one forest, we admire their differences and celebrate what makes each one so special and colorful. With that enthusiasm and love, we invite in the sacred songs of the earth to be shared at the Golden Drum.
Music is one of the deepest forms of prayer and healing that we carry with us throughout our lives. To learn, carry and sing a sacred song is an ability we all have, we simply need to tap into it. We invite you to tap into your own ability to welcome sacred song as a study, practice and way of prayer and expression. Each class will focus on a selection of songs, where we will learn the pronunciation, translation, and intention of the songs, as well as covering the melodic and rhythmic structure of singing the song or chant.
This class is in-person and will also be live on Zoom. A class recording will be sent to all participants who register online. A link to join will be sent prior to class.
10% of all classes are donated to charities and organizations in need of support.
