Four years ago on this date, at the end of the crazy year of 2020, we went online for the first time on the show of the year that time, Canta Com Amor. Throughout the whole year, this amazing platform of Canta Com Amor had become something of a phenomenon, gathering the medicine community worldwide through Zoom. All through lockdown when the whole world stood still, we were still able to connect our altars, hearts and faces and rejoice in singing and dancing. It was something wonderfully moving and magical.
We had the honor to round off the year with a full online concert on the 27th December 2020. With over 100k people watching live from their homes all across the world, we played an over 3 hr long concert, our first ever appearance on an online platform. It was an event that became really special to us, a new way to connect with the community, and one that gave a lot of light and hope in that particularly strange and dark time. Seeing your faces and dancing on camera was too moving, it still gives us goosebumps to this day. It was the first time we played the material we were to record later for our Dreamtime album live.
Very grateful to the guys behind the platform of Canta Com Amor, Line, Apan and others, who held that prayer throughout the whole year that meant so much for our global medicine community. And very grateful to our own lineup with Txai Fernando, Juan Carlos and Solveig TK.
Super grateful to Kai Stokkeland who was our sound engineer that day and who also made this beautiful video of «Freedom Song» which you can now watch in full on YouTube.
And most of all, thank you to all that tuned in and shared that night with us. Pure magic! Thank you!
And as a little treat: the full online concert from Canta Com Amor is also available to watch in full on our website: www.curawaka.com/

A recent live video of Anna Bariyaniâs song, Ved Tidens Ende, from our second album, Dreamtime. Written in Annaâs native language of Norwegian, the song tells a story from the end of time, where the last fire sings out over the eternal sea, an ode to life and all that once was. Read below for the lyrics and translation.
Intet men stillhet fyller oppÂ
Det stedet helt ytterst, Ăžverst pĂ„ toppÂ
Ăstenfor sol og vestenfor mĂ„neÂ
Helt ute ved kysten til det uendelige havÂ
Der stĂ„r det et fjell, den endelige klippeÂ
Han er det siste vitne til alt som en gang varÂ
Yoo yoo yooÂ
Intet med glĂžd fyller oppÂ
Det stedet helt ytterst, Ăžverst pĂ„ toppÂ
Ăstenfor sol og vestenfor mĂ„neÂ
Brenner den hellige flamme, det evige bĂ„lÂ
Han synger sin sang, alle kjĂŠrlighetens minnerÂ
En hyllest til livet,Â
til minne om altÂ
som en gang varÂ
Yoo yoo yooÂ
Alle livene vi har levdÂ
Alle historiene vi har vevdÂ
Alt det vi har elsketÂ
Alt det gode vi har skaptÂ
Alt er bevart,Â
der ute ved tidens endeÂ
Sunget rundt det siste bĂ„lÂ
Til det uendelige havÂ
Yoo yoo yooÂ
Ăstenfor sol,Â
og vestenfor mĂ„neÂ
Hvisker vinden ennĂ„ minnet, til det uendelige havÂ
Historien om et folk,Â
som levde i Edens hageÂ
Barn av jord barn av solenÂ
Foredlet av det store mysterietÂ
Yoo yoo yoo

Nothing but silence fills up
That place at the far end, at the top of it all
To the east of the sun and to the west of the moon
Far out by the shore to the endless sea
There stands a mountain, the final cliff
He is the last witness of all that once was
Yo - yo - yo
Nothing but glow fills up
That place at the far end, at the top of it all
East of the sun and west of the moon
Burns the sacred flame, the eternal fire
He sings his song, all the memories of love
A tribute to life, in memory of all that once was
Yo - yo - yo
All the lives we have lived
All the stories we have woven
All that we have loved
All the good we have created
All is preserved, out there at the end of time
Sung around the last fire
To the endless sea
Yo - yo - yo
To the east of the sun, and to the west of the moon
The wind still whispers the memories to the endless sea
The story of a people who once lived in the garden of Eden
Children of earth, children of the sun
Nobly forged by the great mystery
Yo - yo - yo

'Hey Yama Yo' filmed live at Solar de Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro. đ«Â
Rio used to be my home. It was where Curawaka first opened up and blossomed. Thanks to that place we accepted the mission of the music and particularly the portal that opened from inside in the ambience of the magic we lived in Rio, with its connection to the floresta and its guardians. It was soooo emotional to come back after 8 years and play the same songs that hatched there and to see the dear faces of old friends in the audience, who have been rooting for us since the beginning. I will never forget this night.Â
Thanks to everyone who was there, to the guardians who have been there since the beginning, thanks to @aguila_y_condor who took the video, and especially deep thanks to @fabianabarrocas and her crew at @ninhodaaguia_xamanismo for making our Brazil Tour.Â
JĂĄ tamos com saudades de voceis no Brasil! Muito amor muito paz muita luz muita cura muita alegrĂa, muito gratidĂŁo mesmo galera. Muito sagrado. Amor sempre â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
