My song, my voice

Young people and a shaman sing fervently in the Turé dance, chanting a song that resonates through the forest and in their hearts. More than just a melody, this traditional chant welcomes guests before the festivities, serving as a greeting and an invitation to share in the joy, ancestry, and mysteries of Indigenous culture. As the song rises, the shaman lights breu, spreading the sacred smoke to purify the people and the space. The strength of the united voices and the aroma of the breu echo the wisdom of the ancestors, honoring the land, the spirits, and the traditions that shape a people’s identity.
