Walimanai
by Okavango
If you have ever dreamed of exploring the Amazon rainforest, this album is the next best thing. The Baniwa tribe's name for themselves is "walimanai," which means "living generations" or "the people alive today," as opposed to their ancestors. They believe that when one sows the magic seeds in one place, then others at her side pour in water (which becomes rain and forms a beautiful rainbow). Below, the beautiful field where the seeds now grown into little beings, similar to plants. Some women are taking out the little ones, new generations to come: new human beings. With the release of Hekwapi Records 7th EP, Okavango brings into this sounds of the night forest sonorous into a wild twilight. Enjoy the journey!
