Beschreibung
"Joarotu: A Shamanic Journey to Balance."
"Joarotu" is a musical piece that pays homage to the culture of the Warao people and emphasizes the crucial role of their shamans in the search for natural balance. The piece tells of an ancient ritual to remove the "curse of Joa" caused by harmful substances from nature. Aggressive chords and rhythmic patterns open the work, symbolizing the confrontation with the Joa. The first Warao chant marks the arrival of the shaman. The central passage reveals the ritual event in which the sounds of nature merge with the Warao chants. The curse attempts to return, but Joarotu absorbs it to establish balance between good and evil. The coda contains the hope-bringing Warao chant. "Joarotu" is a unique musical journey into the culture of the Warao, an ethnic group living in northern Venezuela, that encourages reflection on balance."
