ECHOS
Metsa, Kampo, and The Eaglets
Echos, the second album produced by Metsa brings in the combination of traditional Ikaros, ceremonial sacred ayahuasca songs, with fusional tunes inviting you into a ceremonial space where plant medicine consciousness becomes a felt reality.Echos varies from Quechua-Lamista traditional lkaros to Shipibo tonalities where words are multi-colored threads that create a fabric of healing. It also brings North Native American inspirations with the Kiché Manitou Great Mystery callings and opens our hearts at the doorstep of Western African Bwiti Harps.
Metsa pours into this piece of art all his love intertwining various rhythmical instruments with his inner cultivation into sound, vibration, and repetitive trance.
​
This album welcomes Metsa’s family where his youngest daughters M and C and his wife Kapomo uplift us even more into the sensation of oneness and how real medicine get inspired by prayer fully integrated into family life. A real inspiration.
CONTACT
Welcome to the musical journey of Contact.
There are still places in the world where plants are considered teachers and healers. Places where people have direct communication with the spirit world. Places where there is a recognition and a deeply felt sense that there is no separation, that we are all interconnected.
If you travel to visit indigenous elders in any jungle, mountain, plain, or desert in this world, you will hear a common refrain:
We are all related
To transcend a world of separation and ego, we need to consistently cultivate the stillness in ourselves. Only from that place can we deeply listen. Through the stillness, we can find ourselves in everything and everything in ourselves.
​
This album is a compilation of ceremonial plant medicine songs, called ikaros, some of which are presented traditionally, true to their origin, and others which are a reinterpretation through decades of practice in this work.
t’s a deeply intimate space that may remind you of the place within yourself of perfect union.
Hear the jungle, the wind, the plants, the mountains, the fire, the water. Hear the heartbeat - your own and that of the world.
Allow the music to work on and in you. Allow the music to heal you. Allow the music to guide you. For these songs, your internal compass already knows the way.
​
Be Still, Relax, Pay Attention. Let Everything Be, Let Everything Go.
“As I sing I invoke the Great Spirit, the light and love of the universe through my singing to reach you where you are in time and space. I intend to open your world of hearing, seeing and experiencing - to take you on a journey.
With each song I’m calling in the plants, the spirits, people, and energies of the invisible world. I’m connecting all of them through a vessel: me. From this space I am nourishing your kaya (spirit), opening your juente (heart), and clearing your way.” - METSA

Artist Biographies
In 1996, after a near-death experience that sparked a profound spiritual awakening, Metsa was guided to begin his journey with plant medicine — first at the Takiwasi Center, and then under the mentorship of indigenous elders and guides. Over the next two decades, he trained in their ways, undertaking strict plant diets in the jungle and learning the sacred art of healing through song.
​
Rooted in this traditional foundation, Metsa continued to immerse himself in the living languages of the sacred, carried by many nations of the Americas. His path has been shaped by the teachings of the Quechua Lamista, Shipibo, Awajuns, and Q’eros from Peru, Tsutijiles, Mazatecas from Guatemala and Mexico. Finally, Lakotas and Dené nations from North America.
Today, he is honored and recognized as a Lakota Chief and Spiritual Leader.
Beyond the healing and spiritual guidance that he offers to the community at large, Metsa’s practice is devoted to the universal languages of inspired spiritual sacred chants, tones and rhythm — creating spaces for people to reconnect, to remember the source of inspiration, the heartbeat of the Universe, and the truth of Oneness.
​
His work carries the invitation to embody the experience what has always been so: that we are all, in fact, connected.
