Peruvian Medicine Music with Cacao Ceremony and Sound Bath

Shamans say they were taught icaros by the plants themselves. Vegetalistas—shamans specializing in the spirits of plants, such as ayahuasca—use these songs to invoke or summon the spirit of a plant or animal, depending on what the shaman intuits is needed. Because they’re taught directly by the plants, each shaman has his own set of icaros. And just as shamans believe that every animal, tree, and stone is its own being, they believe that every being also has an icaro that is unique to them.

“Icaros are the curanderos’ weapons of healing, their sources of personal energy, symbols of their power and wisdom, and inheritances for their apprentices”.

Similar to ritual drumming and meditative chanting, many shamans say that the words—which can include several languages and dialects—do not matter as much as the tone, frequency, and resonance of your voice. It’s thought that at a certain frequency you can reach the spiritual plane. For people familiar with healing music or music that invokes non-ordinary states of consciousness, you’ll find familiar tropes in icaros in their “regular, normally rapid rhythms, limited melodic variations, and two or three repetitive phrases,” as Bustos noted. The structure of icaros fits well with the theory that certain rhythms produce theta waves—the brain waves associated with deep meditation, dreams, and the unconscious.
