A singer, musician, and painter, she released her debut album in 2021, with several of her songs becoming widely recognized in the Indigenous and medicine music scene. She has represented Amazonian youth internationally, including at COP26 in Glasgow, and continues the path of her family in leadership, culture, and spirituality. Through her voice and presence, she brings the female strength of the rainforest, standing for Indigenous cultural revitalisation and the living spirit of her peoples.

A leader of Mutum Village, he has undergone deep studies, initiations, and diets within his tradition, and stands out as both a guardian and innovator of his people’s spirituality. As a musician and composer, Tuikuru is known for his guitar arrangements of Yawanawa chants, including beloved versions of songs such as Sina Vaishu. He travels widely through Brazil and Europe, sharing his people’s songs and teachings, often alongside his wife Eriya. Together, they lead retreats, ceremonies, and workshops, transmitting ancestral wisdom to communities around the world.
