Label: Fak Records

The CD contains 13 songs, with a total duration of 42 minutes. A sound journey in which different cultures of our planet are covered. The compositions are inspired by Celtic, Balkan, Native American, Japanese, Latin, African American and ancient Mediterranean cultures. An eclectic imaginary soundtrack, with cinematic harmonies, in which fantasy and magic cannot be absent.

The book is bound in hardcover (14×14 cm format), with 48 color pages, including photographs and illustrations by Sandra Santamarina. It contains an explanatory audio-guide, together with the list of instruments used in each piece. The texts have an informative and didactic approach. They collect topics such as the Eleusinian mysteries, tarantism, syncretic cults, the importance of Sirius in ancient cultures, sorcery, European pyrophoric rites, astronomy and some mythological figures, such as the Tupi-Guarani caipora.

The cover made by the Ecuadorian artist Darwin Ruiz, shows a ritual that the Dogón celebrate every 60 years, during the Sigui Festival. In the scene, we observe several masked figures. Three of them play the bellows, embodying the voice of the ancestors. Each copy represents a language: that of the fox, that of the catfish and that of Dyongou Sérou, the first man to die, our ancestor. The constant renewal of the world.
