Pakarinka Sisari from Ecuador:
Music from the Heart of the Andes
Thanks to ancient Andean instruments, a range of sounds have emerged again from the heart of the earth. In these songs, Pakarinka Sisari's instruments create a special symphony with Taki Sumak Sami, Kichwa words that mean "songs of nature in musical harmony". The group Pakarinka Sisari, comes from the sacred mountains of Imabura, Ecuador, to fulfill an ancient prophecy through the magical power of Takisami or "music spirits". Their ancient healing music helps to balance the power of knowledge with the feeling of the heart to awaken in us a divine power (the Ushai). Hear how the music dances with the Waira (wind), the Yaku (water), and the Nina (fire) and with Pachamana (Mother Nature) and Taita Inti (Father Sun).
With the proceeds from the sale of this CD, the Centre of Ancestral Wisdom Pakarinka Sisari helps to conserve its traditions and safeguard archaeological objects that house the old secrets of the indigenous lifestyle.
