La musica della medicina (testo inglese)

We offer for download some of the recordings of the Ayahuasca ceremonies - the medicine songs and the icaros which are the essential element of traditional medicine. Medicine songs come from different traditions where they are performed during meditation and healing rituals. In the Orient they are basically known as mantras. They can be sanged in many different languages - Sanskrit, Tibetan, English, Spanish, Hindi etc.

The icaros are the magic chants of the Amazon jungle coming particularly from the shamanic practices of Amazon healers. Icaros, as well as mantras, are never invented or composed. These chants are "received" or "dreamed in the realms of jungle spirits". Also icaros are never performed out of the healing context i.e. the healing treatment or the Ayahausca ceremony.

To feel a little bit the vibe of the Amazon jungle, you can also listen to the different nature sounds of the rainforest recorded during the early morning and during the night. You can download either the short version or the full version of recordings lasting more than one hour.
