Family, our latest offering is a love letter to Peru, to the Great Mountain Spirits, the Apus, and to the humble beauty of the Sacred Valley ⛰️ On the final day of our journey, we awoke with a strong pull to create. The land called us to connect with our beautiful brother , who joined us in this spontaneous sonic prayer, arriving with no sleep, having held sound through the night for a local ceremony. A quiet testament to his gentle strength, devotion, and sacred flow 🤍🌞
As we sat, surrounded by the towering strength of the mountains, listening deeply to the land and the soft morning birdsong in the heart of the valley, this song was born.
In that sacred space, the Ngoni wove itself into our music like it had always been there. The moment we sang with it, I felt the presence of West African ancestors. Though I was in Peru, I felt deeply connected to the Motherland, as if the Ngoni’s tones awakened something ancient in me. Its sound carried memory, bridging continents and lifetimes, stirring a truth my soul already knew.
Peru, you have changed us forever 🌞 You cracked us open and held us in ways we can barely express. We offer our love to you, our deepest reverence and eternal gratitude for your medicine, your mystery, your majesty. Thank you
Thank you to the Apus for holding us and reminding us to stand tall ⛰️ We honour and give thanks for all the mountains of the world, for teaching us how to be still, listen, and return to connection.
And to all land, especially the land beneath your feet as you read this, thank you for reminding us that we are never, ever separate.
To every single soul we met, walked with, sang with, and learned from along the way, thank you.
Thank you for the gift of being alive. Let us give thanks for this breath, and remember - We Are One 🌀
