#PREMIERE 'Non Mai' Eomac Fr. Wihtner FaGo
Listen to 'Non Mai' by Eomac Fr. Wihtner FaGo taken from 'Wihtner FaGo - Non Axebo Redit VA' out on 31 August via Behuá Icára
The third release of Behua Icára is an EP - VA of reworks from the album 'Non Axebo' by Withner FaGo, an activist and rapper from the Shipibo Konibo Xetebo community. Singing in his native language, FaGo narrates myths and legends, as well as stories of cultural and environmental resistance from his community in the central Peruvian Amazon.
Some of these stories emerge from the collective’s imagination and worldview of his community, such as 'Chaikonibo,' which refers to enchanted men who protect the jungle; 'Non Nete' - Our World - which describes the four indigenous worldviews of the community: Jakon Nete (The Upper World), Non Nete (The Earthly World), Pashin Nete (The Underworld), and Jene Nete (The Water World); and 'Mai Yoshin' - Land of Demons - a generational tale from Pucallpa.
'Non Mai' - Our Land - a protest song against oil companies and deforestation, has been reinterpreted by Eomac, with a harsh and frantic percussive syntax, making it the perfect soundtrack for frontline defense.
