“Aritiauku” is the Sapara name I was given when I entered the community at LLanchamacocha in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Three shaman discussed this back and forth in Kichwa and all I could understand was “el cantante” or “singer.” In Spanish, @manariushigua told me that it’s the red-haired monkey who wakes up the forest, activating all the other animals with its powerful voice early in the morning. Gratefully, I resonated with this, as I rise each day and let the song within shine. I wondered all week which monkey this could be. On my final day in the jungle, I met this little baby Aritiauku, a Red Howler, who was found motherless in the forest and is now being nursed in the community until it’s old enough to be on its own. I felt a lot like this little monkey, born into a new world, learning and growing, nurtured and cared for by the community as I grow my roots stronger into the Earth, exploring how to activate my voice in more impactful ways from the jungle. I’m so grateful for these moments, connecting with beautiful beings of the Earth. 🐒✨ The melody came to me in this moment, to soothe this bebecita, and rings in my dreams each night, like an echo rippling all the way from the forest. #aritiauku #sapara #llanchamacocha #amazonrainforest #amazonicas #redhowlermonkey #mono #wildlife
Happy International Women’s Day! I want to share the beauty and inspiration of Mukutsawa, the matriarch of Llanchamacocha, the Sapara community in Ecuador whole-heartedly defending the Amazonian rainforest at the headwaters of the Conambo River. She is one of the last three people on Earth that speaks Sapara, with a population near 600, though there were nearly 20,000 in the 20th century. They invite everyone into their dream for the world and are the strongest and kindest people I have ever come to know. Mukutsawa is a heroic role model of a woman - gracefully strong and incredibly loving, overseeing the community as a bold female leader, radiating the wisdom of a powerful medicine woman, while giggling with the heart of a child and beauty of a goddess. She is a defender of Earth, a friend to all nations, a nurturing mother, devoted to family and forest, wise carrying ancestral knowledge, generous, and connected to spirit, she is everything a woman can hope to be on Earth. Paigratchu Mukutsawa!

Celebrando el Día Internacional de la Mujer, quiero compartir la belleza de Mukutsawa, la matriarca de Llanchamacocha, la comunidad Sapara en Ecuador que defiende de todo corazón la selva de Amazónicas en la cabecero del Río Conambo. Ella es una de las últimas tres personas en la tierra que habla Sapara, con una población cercana a los 600, aunque había casi 20.000 en el siglo XX. Invitan a todos a su sueño por el mundo y son las personas más fuertes y amables que he conocido. Mukutsawa es un modelo heroico de mujer- elegantemente fuerte e increíblemente amorosa, supervisando a la comunidad como una fuerte líder femenina, irradia la sabiduría de una poderosa curandera, mientras riendo con el corazón de un niño y la belleza de una diosa. Es una defensora de la tierra, amiga de todas las naciones, una madre cariñosa, dedicada a la familia y la selva, sabía llevando conocimiento ancestral, generosa y conectada con el espíritu, es todo lo que una mujer puede esperar ser en la tierra. ¡Paigratchu Mukutsawa! ❤️ #sapara #saparawomen #mujeressapara #internationalwomensday #mujeresamazonicas #mujeresamazónicas #mujerespoderosas #llanchamacocha #manariushigua

Tonight at the Blue Note, I flipped my hair with such momentum that the flower in my hat flew into the lap of my drummer. When the end of the night came, that very flower was left on the snare drum. What a gift to discover it, when all the souls had left, and it was just a flower and I that remained. 🌸 #bluenote #nightflower

Sending a huge THANK YOU @Bumpboxx for this rad gift they gave me backstage at @BottleRock Napa Valley !! My life is bumpin’ with this thing - it has Bluetooth and a wireless mic, it’s a touring musician’s best road mate! And the color match they chose for me is a dream. I’m so grateful for the love. 💜⚡️ #bumpboxx #jaleh #bts #backstage #bottlerock #musicfestival #frontwoman #festivallife #touringmusician #boombox #bumpin
It’s a Full Moon in Aquarius, here goes another #moonshaderecords drip! My newest song ✨LUCKY STAR✨ is now available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, etc…
This heartfelt release is a starlit testimony of cosmic salvage, perfect for an Aquarian Full Moon.
I played these chords in adoration of my love Lemme and the words followed quickly behind. The two of us arranged and recorded this track moments after it revealed itself in his parent’s living room with my baritone ukelele and the orange congas that were present. Music often flows easily like this, but capturing the magical moment of songwriting so purely is rare.
This one goes out to all the friends and lovers that adore & ignite each other’s glory. ✨
