Kuhã Duble

In the image, young Indigenous people of the Karipuna people blow their flutes with dedication, known as “mamã” and “petxi” in the Kheuol language. More than just musical instruments, these flutes are channels of connection to the sacred. Through their sounds, the young people bring life to chants and healing rituals, perpetuating ancestral traditions that care for both body and soul. The photo captures not just a moment of cultural practice, but the continuity of a deep spiritual legacy that resonates with the strength and beauty of the Karipuna identity.
