about

Waka means water. The ‘Waka’ album pays homage to the water that sustains all life on our blue planet. Shaneihu Yawanawa's reverence to the transformational quality of water to cleanse and rebirth serves as a reminder that we have the choice to change in each moment. His voice is joined by that of his wife Marya Sheki and sister Nay Ushu, feminine voices that channel the power of the forest. The album contains ancestral songs, healing songs spoken in Vaná (language of the plant spirits), and songs composed by Shaneihu.
