MEDICINE MUSIC WORKSHOP
with CURAWAKA
What is medicine music? How does sound become medicine? How can we grow into being
medicine musicians, to share music that carries healing.
Anna Bariyani, Tavo Vazquez, Alberto Arroyo and Dario Santamaria Romero are the members
of one of the world's leading Medicine Music bands - Curawaka. Each of them have a long
journey as musicians behind them, each one with their own story, instrument, technique and
musical specialty. With the Medicine Music Workshop, each member of Curawaka offer their
insights into the essence of the medicine of sound, and sharing techniques on how to
cultivate that healing frequency when playing music.
The workshop often includes guided breathing exercises, lessons on rhythm and melody,
theoretical discourse and discussions, always making sure participants get an
understanding of the cultural context and the importance of connection to places and
traditions. Through different exercises, we practice authenticity, spontaneity and the
importance of play. Ending the workshop with a jam session and/or a singing circle, sharing
the joy and connection so vital to Medicine Music.
The Medicine Music Workshop is for anyone, beginners and masters of music, no experience
needed. If you play an instrument, feel free to bring it for the jam sessions.

With a global fanbase and millions of streams, Curawaka is one of the most captivating acts in the rising world of conscious and cross-cultural music. Blending powerful vocals, traditional instruments, and deep ceremonial rhythms, their sound bridges ancient indigenous traditions with contemporary world music — creating a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
Formed by artists from Norway, Mexico, and Argentina, Curawaka brings a rich cultural tapestry to the stage. Led by vocalist and songwriter Anna Bariyani, Curawaka’s breakthrough album Call of the Wild introduced fan-favorite anthems like Noku Mana, TeNande, and He Yama Yo, earning the group international acclaim across conscious social movements as well as global music stages. Their long-awaited follow-up album, Dreamtime (2023), expands their sonic palette with lush arrangements and collaborations from across the globe — solidifying their place as pioneers in the genre.
Their newest release Olokun (2025) continues their signature fusion of spiritual depth and musical mastery, calling upon sacred feminine forces of the sea to bring healing and balance to the world.Whether you’re a seasoned fan or hearing them for the first time, Curawaka’s live show is a transcendent, high-vibe journey that uplifts and inspires — uniting hearts across cultures, languages, and borders.
SAVEJ
Born and raised in the Honey Island Swamp of Louisiana, Savej [pron. savage] is known around the globe for his unique and captivating “Ancient Future” sound. His integration of ancestral medicine music, organic soundscapes, and exotic world instruments with groovy tribal rhythms and Louisiana flavor effectively bridges the gap between cultures and the Ages of time.
Savej's live experience is designed to be a celebratory sonic ceremony, a remembrance of who and what we are as human beings, and a reflection of the primordial essence that binds all things -- all while infusing irresistibly danceable grooves and heavy-hitting bass.
He has performed at some of the most sought after stages and festivals, ranging from the legendary Luna Stage at Envision Festival in Costa Rica to the Portal Stage at Area 15 in Las Vegas.
IYAKUH
Rooted in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, Iyakuh creates immersive sonic landscapes blending Organic Downtempo, Ambient, Textured Beats, Global Bass, and Ecstatic Dance. Through a collage of nature recordings gathered across the world, his music becomes an intimate auditory reflection of our planet’s diversity. Inspired by lineage, cosmovision, and ancestral traditions, his compositions weave a multicultural tapestry of instrumentation and atmosphere. Deeply influenced by visual realms, Iyakuh collaborates with filmmakers and visual artists to create soundtracks supporting the preservation of ecosystems, plant species, and cultural memory. His performances are meditative, cinematic, expansive, and dance floor-activating.
