ALUNA - Juntos by Resueño

English

Juntos (Spanish for together), the debut album from ALUNA, is a testament to a new paradigm of music. It is a collaborative project through and through. Pulling from the indigenous traditions and fusing their experiences with the sounds of the moment, ALUNA has landed something timeless. Steffen Ki and Maywa have joined forces with some of their favorite musicians, bringing us a masterfully crafted collection of music that expands beyond borders, cultures, and genres.

Much of the influence for this album comes from Maywa’s time spent living in the rainforests of South America and Steffen Ki’s own journey into nature through his travels around the world. ALUNA was born out of a love affair between these two beautiful beings and so it is fitting that they extended their embrace to some of their closest friends and producers in the creation of this collaborative work.

All the songs from this album are derived from music written by Maywa. Just one song, Agua de Flores, is an adaptation of a traditional ceremony song. Maywa’s voice is the common thread weaving all 8 tracks together into a seamless story of love, peace, and connection to nature.

The first seeds of this album were planted 2 years ago, exactly the time of the first vision of this label Resueño. It is with great joy that the album and the label circle back around to meet each other once again. The beauty that manifests when we come together to support each other and to create as a family is also a testament to the new paradigm which is upon us. This is a call to come together, Juntos.


About the Tracks

Agua de Flores, a co-creation with Mose, is the only song I have not created, it is a personal adaptation of a ceremony song called Agua de Flores that I sang while living in Mexico between the sea and the deep water of a cenote. The vocals were recorded together with Mose in Berlin and was produced by him with elements given to him by Steffen.

Ininti, a co-creation with Intiche, comes from an icaro that I have created in the indigenous language Shipibo conibo. It is one of the icaros that I have created in this language after living 2 years in the jungle in Peru. Ininti means Perfume. The icaro was recorded and produced with Steffen as the alchemist using elements that Intiche sent us.

Corazones de Fuego, a co-creation with Derrok, is another original song of mine. This chant was also created while living in the jungle. It came at dawn while in ceremony with the sacred plants and the warmth of grandfather fire.

Yuruba, a co-creation with J.Pool, is also an original song that I created while living in Chile on Chiloe Island in a water forest. I sat next to a tree and connected with ancient roots of Africa.

Chimes, a co-creation with Biomigrant, is a pure live co-creation together. On this sunny day Biomigrant began to sing the colors of his various travels. Using different instruments we co-created flowing with the present moment and setting the foundation for him to take it from there with his special production touch.

Yaku Wayra, a co-creation with Rodrigo Gallardo, is also an original song of mine in the Quechua language. Yaku Wayra means wind of water. It is inspired by a special sound in the jungle which arises before the rain comes, a wind that comes to warn of what is to come. Then Rodrigo made his magic with his sounds and instruments.

Lunaqua, a co-creation with Di Laif, is a composition I made with the voice and the Sansula in Guatemala on the shores of Lake Atitlan. It was a magical night, connecting with the voices of the lake. We then had the opportunity to produce much of this track live with Di Laif in Guatemala.

Eclipse, a co-creation with Joaquín Cornejo, was born from elements that Joaquín sent us combined with a recording of my voice channeled the night of an eclipse in 2018. Step by step, as in a dream, Steffen finished producing in this moment with the magic of the night.

Español

Al final son puras cocreaciones de fluir, cantos originales que he creado, y producciones magicas de Steffen y cada uno.

Agua de Flores es el unico canto que no he creado, es un adaptación personal de un canto de ceremonia que se llama Agua de flores que he cantando viviendo en Mexico entre el mar, y un cenote de agua.

Ininti que cocreamos con Intiche viene de un icaro que he creado en el ideoma indigena Shipibo conibo. Es uno de los icaros que he creado en este ideoma, despues de vivir 2 anos el la selva en Peru. Ininti quiere decir, Perfume.
Hemos gravado mi icaro juntos con Steffen, y con los elementos producidos que Intiche nos avia mandado, Steffen estuvo produciendo nuevamente como alquimia.

Corazones de fuego que cocreamos con Derrok es un canto original mio tambien. Tambien he creado este canto viviendo en la selva, vino en la madrugada en ceremonia, con las plantas sagradas, y el calor del abuelito fuego.

Yuruba que cocreamos con J~Pool es tambien un canto original que he creado cuando vivia en Chile, en la isla Chiloe, en un bosque de agua, me sinte al lado de un arbol y conecte con raices antiguas y essentiales de Africa.

Chimes con Biomigrant es pura cocreacion en vivo juntos. Este dia de sol, Biomegrant empezo a cantar y con differentes colores de sus viajes y instrumentos cocreamos asi como jugando con el momento presente y luego el ha producido con todos los elementos de este momento.

Yaku Wayra que cocreamos con Rodrigo Gallardo es tambien un canto original mio en el ideoma quechua. Yaku Wayra quiere decir, viento de agua. Es inspirando del sonido que escuchaba en la selva, antes de llegar la lluvia, siempre hay un viento que llega para avizar. Luego Rodrigo hiso su magia con sus sonidos y instrumentos.

Lunaqua es una composición que hice con la voz y la Sansula en Guatemala, frente al lago Atitlan en una noche magica, conectando con las voces del lago. Luego cocreamos juntos en vivo con Di laif.

Eclipse nacio de elementos que nos mando J. Cornejo y grabamos una canalización el eclipse 2018 que fue todo cocreado despues y finamente juntos con Steffen.
