KANTO DE LA TIERRA
Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico
2/22/1989
On this adventure into the spirit world, I traveled south to the Eagle gathering. Chiefs and Medicine People from North, South and Central America shared song, folklore and history. The purpose is to bridge an ancient gap that was created by the Spanish. The medicine people told me that once the condor and the eagle flew together.
I experienced the giving of the mind, body and soul to Mother Earth through the ancient sweats and songs.
This song is dedicated to Tigre and his pursuit of making people one with Mother Earth.

All of the spirits come to the people
For eternity, for eternity.
