Pachamama, from Quechua Pacha (universe), and Mama (Mother Earth) is the deity of indigenous people of the central Andes, related to the Earth, the mother. Like a goddess who has the gift of purification, in addition to the power of planting love in everyone's heart, it is considered the one who sows life in the world, contributing to a safer life on the Planet. This piece intends to remove all the filters that prevent us reaching the essence of each forest, plant and make clear how we merge into one while breathing together.
In the first part of Eylul/September the poet explains its beauty. Followed by a description including the senses of the human body and of everything that happens around you in this beautiful season. Trying to change the viewpoint that people were convinced with, as the season where flowers die, which is depressing and a sign of death. In his opinion its where nature changes her clothes from green to yellow to renew her soul so it is actually a season full of life. Eylul was written by Lebanese poet Elia Abu Madi.
Humanity is but a small part of nature and Earth is our mother. An African quote says: The Child who keeps his parents awake at night also doesn't sleep. When we take care of nature; we take care of ourselves because we are part of it. When nature is hurt, we are hurt, so it's important to take care of nature and to treat it as we would treat ourselves. There are things happening to us without anyone being able to answer them. Our world is falling apart because of our nonsense. And we still haven't understood.
Rona wrote and sang the lyrics to this song like a mantra with a great sense of spirit. With the singing bowls and backing vocals by Heidi and Elly the three created an embracing and warm sacred space of union, love and acceptance. In this day we want to dedicate this song to whom ever lost their loved ones. We Are One and forever united in eternity.
Rona: I fell in love with Elly’s voice and vibe. Once she recorded her vocal track and guitar on the beat it was really easy to add my part, she framed the song so well with her music and lyrics. The beat is on the Downtempo darker electronic side and incorporates a lot of effects used in different ways and on various sounds to create an enchanting atmosphere. Elly: Rona created a mystique soundscape that tickled my imagination and the lyrics and guitar part came to me smoothly.
