Ninawa Pai da Mata

Huni Kuin · Brazil

Ninawa comes from an unbroken lineage of powerful pajés (spiritual leaders) and musicians, he has been on the pajé path since he was born and has undertaken the highest initiations (dietas) of the Huni Kuin, some of which lasted up to a whole year in isolation and fasting in the forest. Considered one of the greatest musicians from the forest, he captivates people with his charisma and humility and upholds the power and traditions of his ancestors through his work with the sacred medicines of the Amazon.
