Someone recently asked the question “What music should I listen to after having consumed ayahuasca brew?” They wanted to be able to download it instantly, rather than buying a cd online and then waiting for it to be delivered.

We think this is a good question, so we did a bit of research. Here are some suggestions:

Ayahuasca Songs: Healing Prayers and Chants by Don Valerio Cohaila

You can preview the tracks online, and then download the mp3 file if you want it.

El Canto del Tiempo/Ayahuasca Icaros by Don Evangelino Murayay

With this CD also you may preview the tracks online, before downloading the mp3 version.

Ayahuasca Songs from the Peruvian Amazon by Luis Panduro Vasquez

Icaros are songs that have been given to an apprentice shaman by the spirit of the plant or animal that is the focus of his/her attention and journey. The Icaros on this CD are very well done, and highly recommended for anyone interested in researching traditional use of Yage in a native context. The singers voices ring with the truth and innocence of children, reminding us of who we really are. note: the lyrics are by no means explicit, quite the opposite as they cleanse the enviornment in preparation for sacred work.

This CD is really simple. It is a clear recording of an authentic Shaman singing, that is it. There are no effects, no background music, no narrator giving a documentary (although that would be cool so heads up you anthropologists out there). It is for a yage ritual and a means of saving what seems to be another dying and doomed culture.
