My son Milo was born yesterday. He came into this world strong and beautiful. Today he lies on my chest burping occasionally after successfully nursing for the first time. We are listening to Ikaros from a curandero of the jungle.
Like a lullaby, Ikaros encapsulate a steady repetitive rhythm with a simple melody to entrance the listener. It is almost like charming a snake with certain metallic vibrations.
I play these songs for him to be protected and fall into a safe dream state that teaches him in subtle ways.
What music did you play for your kids? What music did you enjoy listening to as a kid?
