Rediscovering ‘Ayun Mapu’:

“Ayun Mapu Redux” breathes new life into “Ayun Mapu,” a beloved chant from Mirabai Ceiba’s debut album Flores. This song has been a vital part of Mirabai Ceiba’s journey, deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of the Mapuche tribe of Chile. Enhanced with a beautiful poem from the Zapoteco people, discovered in the ancient pyramid of Monte Alban in Oaxaca, Mexico, this song speaks to the universal themes of creation and unity: “You were the moon who reproduced my being, I was the sun who planted dreams in your chest.”

A Celebration of Unity:

This powerful fusion of cultures and themes creates a musical space where the south and north, sun and moon, male and female, harmoniously converge. “Ayun Mapu Redux” is a testament to our shared humanity, celebrating the life force that unites us all.

A Transformative Sound:

In this reimagined version, Mirabai Ceiba has taken the earthy roots of “Ayun Mapu” and transformed them into a dreamy, ethereal soundscape. Featuring the interplay of two guitars, a deep drum heartbeat, and a lush, otherworldly background, this track transports listeners to a serene dreamspace where the seeds of life await their moment to blossom.
