About Memo

Memo a healer/artist and shamanic practitioner in the Incan energy traditions. The flute first appeared to him in a guided shamanic journey called a ‘soul retrieval’ conducted by anthropologist Alberto Villoldo. He later purchased his first Native American flute in Sedona, AZ and used it in the shamanic practices of opening sacred spaces, sound healings and divinations.

After receiving the “Creator Rites” of the Munay-Ki from the shaman elders of Peru (in these tracks you will hear the “bells of Don Francisco.” Don Francisco, the president of the Q’ero nation uses these Peruvian bells to summon the pure energy believed to be in the High Andes. The music is inspired by the powerful healing ways of the Q’ero.
