MACOCHI PITENTZIN is third single from the upcoming album of Katja Šulc, dedicated to Mexico and its poetry. Traditional lullaby written in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs from the pre-Columbian times, is marking Día de Muertos, the living world of souls and spirits. Set to music by looping voice, effects, synths and sounds, the song is creating a hypnotic, mesmerizing soundscape.
