MUSIC

In today’s streaming world, artists are rarely compensated for the depth of their creative labor. When you listen — and especially when you purchase the music — you help sustain the songs, the ceremonies, and the ancestral work that gives birth to them. Your support keeps this living tradition alive.

Akutu Irka's Shamanic Music

These ceremonial recordings were created to accompany inner work, ancestral tending, and personal journeys. One features Akutu Irka playing the mayowakan — the Taíno ceremonial drum — and the other carries her spontaneous ancestral chanting woven with the pulse of the ceremonial rhythm.

Each song is a prayer in sound, offered for those seeking to reconnect with the land, the spirits, and the ancient memory held in our Afro-Taíno lineage.

Support ceremonial and ancestral music.
