NUU TI BIAANI' is the second single from album CARICIAS. The poem is written by indigenous poetess Irma Pineda, in Zapotec, language of the 'cloud people'. Set to music by looping voice, ukulele, bass and percussion, the song is creating a hypnotic, soothing soundscape.
The upcoming album is paying homage to Mexico and its poetry, including contemporary, folk and indigenous writings. NUU TI BIAANI' is released on the International Day of World's Indigenous Peoples that is raising awareness of the rights of indigenous population, protecting their precious, threatened language and culture.

lyrics

THERE IS A LIGHT
there is a radiant light that calls me
to dance around it like a dragonfly on water
I approach with the prudence of someone
who has been wounded
with the certainty that my wings
will not go undefeated in this dance
I take a chance
I dance like a dragonfly that seeks to make the mermaid,
hiding under water, fall in love
seduced by the light, I search for its center
I make my way through tongues of fire
I will burn I know it well
but I will penetrate to where desire is born
