An immersive sonic tribute by Brazilian vocalist and composer Vanessa Falabella.

“Indigenous” is an immersive sonic tribute created by Brazilian vocalist and composer Vanessa Falabella, blending ancestral field recordings, birdsong, and vocal-percussive improvisations to honor the living heritage of the Caiapó, Krenak, Yanomami, and Pataxó peoples.

Rooted in Minas Gerais

Her professional path began there, alongside acclaimed film composer Marcus Viana, and the project channels the artistic lineage of Milton Nascimento, Marlui Miranda, and Uakti.

It builds directly on the legacy of Criara, her New York-recorded album produced by Frank Ferrucci and Scott Lehrer, which explored the sacred traditions of Peru’s Inca-descendant Q’eros community.
