Biography

An intercultural collaboration with the Indigenous Wampís forest community living in the Peruvian Amazon: exploring evocative soundscapes and ancient nampet songs in the Wampís Territory, to support indigenous-led conservation, and initiatives against illegal deforestation and acts of ecocide. During a month living with the Wampís in the Amazon Rainforest, Aboutface and the Wampis community collaboratively captured field-recordings, music instrumentation and traditional Wampis Nampets – ancient songs sung from the perspective of animals living in their rainforest environment.
