Alonso del Rio is a powerful maestro who interweaves Shipibo and other icaros with sacred music of his own to lead you on your journey; he is both a talented musician and an inspiring communicator of the Amazonian shamanic world. He first came into contact with ayahuasca in 1979 after spending three years working with huachuma (San Pedro). This was when he met Don Benito Arevalo, a grand Shipibo shaman with whom he developed a long relationship, and who gave him his first teachings in ayahuasca and other medicinal plants.

[Verse] GEm7 Soy de un pueblo que viene de lejos Bm/GC2 ma´s alla´ del principio del tiempo GEm y venimos cantando los versos CD que cantaba mi abuelo. GEm7 Cantando a la tierra primero Bm/GC2 luego canto a mi padre en el cielo GEm luego canto a mis cuatro abuelos CD luego canto a mis suen~os GEm7 Para que no se apague ese grito Bm/GC2 que derrama mi sangre en la tierra GEm como el agua transforma la piedra CD me transforma el amarte. GEm7 Cuando el fuego calienta la roca Bm/GC2 viene el agua y descubre que es aire GEm yo descubro que soy la mirada CD la memoria de un pueblo.
[Chorus] GEm7 Porque soy un viejo caminante Bm/GC2 caminando un camino de estrellas GEm en la tierra soy un pequen~ito CD en el cielo un cometa (x2)
