An evening of music, prayer and celebration with the Yawanawá and Huni Kuin in Brighton.
About this Event

We’re very happy to share that the Yawanawá and Huni Kuin will be together in Brighton for a special evening of music, prayer and connection.

This is a rare opportunity to experience both traditions together, something not often seen, even in the Amazon.The Yawanwa and Huni Kuin together at the Brighton Unitarian Church.

This gathering brings together voices from the Amazon, carried through song, rhythm and shared presence. Tamani, Yaka and Shane Huni Kuin will be joined by the Yawanawa's as we welcome back Yawa Vay and Wanu, (who we with us in February.) alongside


Together, they offer an evening that is both uplifting and deeply connecting, rooted in tradition and shared with openness. It is such a rare blessing to see the two tribes together and for those of you who were at Soul Revolution last year, you know the force these five can bring.

This is an evening centred around music, song and shared celebration.


What the evening includes


Live music, songs and prayer from the Yawanawá and Huni Kuin

A shared cultural experience rooted in tradition

An open and welcoming space for all.


Yaka, one of the founders of MAHKU (Movimento dos Artistas Huni Kuin) and alongside Shane are part of the Kayatibu collective. We'll have a selection of the incredible artwork to view or purchase (although the prices represent the unique nature of this art) and you can check out some of the collective's music here.


A selection of MAHKU artwork will be on display during the evening.


This is open to everyone.

No experience is needed, just come with respect and an open heart.
