Ancient Medicine for Modern Times
Alma Peregrina
by Mantric Mambo
Mantric Mambo is a band that has grown together over the last 20 years. Its members lead the ceremonies at Templo Mãe D’água, a center for Sacred Medicines in Chapada dos Veadeiros. The teachings of these medicines and their connection with the cycles of nature deeply inspire his musicality.
They are very connected with music in its diversity, rooted in Afro/Latin rhythms, in a folkloric and gypsy balance. Its melodies are invigorating, transmitting with its lyrics a message of beauty, faith and hope. The band was born spontaneously, out of the purest joy and love for music and sacred medicines. Its mission is to bring people together in ceremonies in a celebratory way.
