My Music
WELCOME TO MY MUSICAL JOURNEY
Welcome to a space where the rich traditions of Brazilian spiritual music come alive. My music is deeply influenced by the sacred sounds of the Umbanda religion from Brazil, interwoven with modern devotional melodies from the genre of Medicine Songs. Each note and rhythm carries the essence of these profound spiritual practices, creating a unique tapestry of sound that invites you to explore and connect with the divine.
Umbanda
Umbanda is a Brazilian religion that blends African traditions with Catholicism, Spiritism, and Indigenous beliefs. Its music is an integral part of its ceremonies, featuring chants and rhythms that invoke spirits, heal, and guide. The songs of Umbanda are powerful expressions of faith and community, often performed with vibrant percussion and call-and-response singing.
Medicine Songs
Medicine Songs are a modern devotional genre inspired by various indigenous and spiritual traditions worldwide. These songs are often used in healing ceremonies and spiritual gatherings, such as Cacao Ceremonies or Breathwork Sessions, aiming to bring peace, transformation, and connection with nature and the self. They blend acoustic instruments, heartfelt lyrics, and soothing melodies to create a meditative and uplifting experience.
Santo Daime
Santo Daime is another Brazilian spiritual tradition, that combines elements of Christianity with Amazonian shamanism. Music in Santo Daime rituals, known as hymns or "hinos," is central to their ceremonies. These hymns are sung in Portuguese and are accompanied by guitars, maracas, and other traditional instruments, creating a sacred atmosphere that facilitates deep spiritual experiences.
Os Segredos vem da Floresta de Luz
“The secrets come from the forest of light”. This song resonates deeply with my personal musical journey, as it encapsulates the essence of my connection to the sacred traditions and the natural world. The lyrics speak to the profound wisdom that emanates from the "forest of light," a metaphor for the ancient and spiritual teachings that have guided my path.
In sharing this song and others inspired by these rich traditions, I invite you to join me on a journey of love, healing, and spiritual awakening. Through music, we can explore the deep connection to Mother Earth and the timeless wisdom she offers.
Join my monthly Singing Circles
You are invited to experience these diverse musical traditions in my monthly singing circles. These gatherings are a space for communal singing, spiritual connection, and healing through the power of music. Together, we will explore the rich sounds of Umbanda, Mantras and medicine songs, creating a harmonious and sacred environment.
Jai Ma
The song "Jai Ma" holds a special place in my heart, reflecting the profound spiritual journey I have undertaken through music. Its lyrics speak to the transformative power of divine love and light, themes that resonate deeply with my own experiences.
The phrase "Jai Ma" is a Sanskrit expression that means "Victory to the Mother" or "Hail to the Divine Mother." It is a chant of devotion and reverence to the divine feminine energy, often associated with goddesses like Durga, Kali, or Saraswati. In this song, repeating "Jai Ma" serves as a powerful mantra, invoking the presence and blessings of the Divine Mother, and celebrating her nurturing, protective, and transformative power. "Jai Ma" is not just a song for me; it's a heartfelt expression of my devotion and gratitude to the divine forces that guide and inspire my music. Through this song, I invite listeners to connect with their own inner light and experience the healing and transformative power of divine love.
