The music project founded six years ago in the theatrical movement of the city of Belém, Bando Mastodontes, releases its first album "Ciranda Celestial" (Natura Musical), on April 22, on all digital platforms. The multi-artists from Pará are committed to strengthening the northern independent music scene, investing in multilingualism to address a Transcendental Amazon. Their themes include ancestrality and representativeness. The project was sponsored by Natura Musical through the Pará state law of culture incentive (Semear).

Throughout its ten tracks, “Ciranda Celestial”, evokes dives that cross and connect worlds to expand de vision focused on care and respect for others and the existences, resistance, expansion of conscience and fragments of universe and cultures. An album that proposes to reverberate connections between worlds, stars, people, nature, individual, society, community and spirituality.

We look at our Amazonian being in a gravitational state, we spin to transcend in ourselves and with the other, we spin to connect with our inner voice and the universe around us. Our ciranda comes from diversity, of beings, of cultures, of sounds, of imaginations, of energies. Expansion of consciousness in a state of fluctuation, past, present and future within the time of a song, our beings in unity with all that exists in the cosmos. Our transcendental Amazon is intimately linked to the idea that there is strength in our shamanism, we sing to heal ourselves, we sing to echo our healing, we believe in and revere the spirituality that exists in the ancestry of our singing, we sing to transcend, the limits of body-mind, of spirit, of time, of boundaries.
