The music that heals

“From the Amazon to the world, the music that heals the soul”
With Francesco Pariset (Colombia), Pico Rama, Pietro Pariset, Elisa Gaia (Italy). Moderated by Nicola Cirillo

It is widely known that music and sound have a therapeutic power in themselves, but in recent years a true musical genre has emerged, known as “medicine music”: born in SOUTH America, as a natural development of the “Icaros” (chants sung by shamans during sacred ceremonies with medicinal plants) it has spread worldwide thanks to the growing interest in this spirituality even by people from other continents. The phenomenon has allowed an evolution of this ceremonial music that has integrated with the traditional music of different cultures with which it has come into contact, taking on different traits and characteristics in various countries, but maintaining the spirit and intention intact.

We will talk about it with Francesco Pariset, who will bring his experience as a musician from Colombia with the medicine families of Putumayo, the Amazon region where he has been living for over ten years, with Pico Rama and Elisa Gaia Italian artists, engaged in a spiritual development journey through music, art, and naturopathy for years, with Pietro Pariset, a surgeon and facilitator of a meditation technique based on holotropic breathing and Rebirthing. The meeting will be moderated by Nicola Cirillo, a journalist who after years of activity in music criticism has embraced an artistic path rooted in medicine music. At the end of the talk, the artists will offer a “music circle”. It is hard to call it a concert, due to the nature of the music being proposed: it is music that must be listened to with an open heart and closed eyes, away from the distractions of the square, cell phones, and chatter. It is music that comes from the silence of those who produce it and reaches the silence of those who listen.
