Curawaka is the world-music prayer of Anna Bariyani, Tavo Vazquez, and Alberto Arroyo.
“Curawaka is a contribution to the great shift we are living through in these times. It is our response to the deep calling to share the real and the wild, the true and good and sacred, the light and the hope.”
Curawaka was born in Brazil in 2013 by Anna Bariyani, Ariel Kushcnir, and Bola Cosmica. Since then, they have passed various generations of lineups, always with Bariyani as the central force with support of Latin-American musicians. The project took a new course when Anna Bariyani met Tavo Vazquez in Argentina in 2015. Over the next year they made the first EP recording, including Noku Mana, La Respuesta and Cuñaq. In 2017-2018 they were joined by Alberto Arroyo on guitar and bass, and together recorded their first full length record, Call of the Wild, which was released in 2018.

Curawaka’s music is an ode to the wild spirit, a tribute to Mother Earth, and a love letter to life itself.
Sharing chants and tunes from all over the world - songs that are crafted from their own hearts, as well as songs that somehow ended up in their hearts - Curawaka is deeply inspired by native traditions and have been blessed to learn with and from various indigenous peoples around the world. In fact, each member of Curawaka has spent extensive time living and studying with different tribes of in different parts of the world. They are in constant tribute to all indigenous peoples everywhere for their ancestral cultures, their traditions and knowledge, and their eternal mission to protect the sacred balance of life.
Headlining their first European Tour in 2018, they have played many concerts and festivals since then. “For us it is a joy and a blessing to share our music with a live audience, to share the medicine frequencies with a wider public and connect to the mysteries of Spirit through music and dance.” They always carry their prayers with them on stage, seeking to lift the energy and connect again and again with the divine which surrounds and lives in us all at all times.
