Discography

The Ilhuikatzin Project
In the Universe are thirteen heavens. At the twelfth one, there is a golden lagoon, is where Mother and Father lives.
They are looking at the ninth heaven, where the human soul is being weaved, before it takes place in a woman’s womb.
One drop of divine blood goes to the new human being and
gives them the breath of life.
When this life comes to its end, this drop will start a journey back to the twelfth heaven, to the golden lagoon. In this way, the human being always returns to the divine place where it belongs to.
This history gives life to “Ilhuikatzin” (Venerable Heaven), name of the fourth album of Magda Angelica, in the ethno fusion gender, following the turn that took the musical career from the “Dream’s Weaver” production in 2005.
Magda Angelica presents this new work with emphasis in strength of the themes through the percussion, the work of vocal harmony and the introduction of new instruments like the violoncello, live marimba, guitars, cuatro, accordion, bass, etc.
Again all the lyrics are based on elements of the Mayan and Mexica mysticism and, taken from the oral tradition, in a respectful approach to this cosmovisión, full of wisdom wealth, still present, and now days totally alive.
In this album Magda Angelica deepens in the feminity concept in the indigenous spirituality and departs from there to build a reinterpretation based on its experiences in Guatemala and Mexico.
