Mawida | MP3
Mawida means ‘forest’ in Mapudungún, the language of Mapuche, indigenous people of Chile. In the mystical space of a cold rain forest, the energy of life forms within it coexists with supernatural entities. Industrial society and its greed threaten the delicate balance between nature, humans and spiritual forces. Mapuche people has fought during centuries for its lands, forests and seas, and pifilka, a simple wind instrument with just two notes, has been a magical tool against their oppressors.
