Vidhya Bistra This is not a music for fun, its a ritual and also a very deep spiritual process. Each track is a separate journey and you don't know where this energy will bring you with and on. Just keep moving and trust the flow. Amazing and beyond the words, overall. Thank you for bringing this to our world!

A hundred years have passed. Yet I hear the distant beat of my father’s drums. I hear his drums throughout the land. His beat I feel within my heart. The drum shall beat, so my heart shall beat. And I shall live a hundred thousand years. (By Ulali, from the Tutelo / Saponi people)

In your infinite eyes of water the stars are bathing, mother, water of light, water of stars. Pachamama you come from heaven. Cleanse, cleanse, cleanse the heart, brilliant water. Heal, heal, heal the heart, blessed water. Calm, calm, calm the heart, water from heaven, mother. Ayayayaya Ayahuascita. Sing your song Ayayamama. Madreciata heal your children. Ayayayaya Ayahuascita. Heal my heart. Sing your song Ayayamama.

about

Heart of the Shamans was conceived as a sonic prayer, a
lovingly-crafted ritual transport into the heart of the
universe. Its original arrangements by producer Amani
Friend – aka Liquid Bloom – are skillfully interwoven
with threads of global rhythms, sounds of natural
atmospheres and evocative vocals.

A voyage through the energy centers of the body, this
music is designed to support ceremonial trance states of
awakening. Weaving powerful voices and
instrumentation from around the world into a layered,
multi-dimensional sonic tapestry resonant with
ancestral depths, the music is inspired by such diverse
sources as indigenous ceremonial dances of New
Mexico’s deserts and pueblos, and sacred traditional
ayahuasca invocations from Amazonian rainforest
cultures.

The album’s liner notes offer guidance for participatory,
immersive listening. A succession of mudras –
traditional hand gestures from India believed to
provide physical points of reference and increase
energy flow throughout the body – are also suggested
to enhance the participant’s experience, each specific to
one of the album’s six major compositions.
