Mariah Gannessa

Mariah Gannessa has spent the last decade immersed in the healing cultures of the Amazon and has dedicated her life’s work to the plants and indigenous peoples of the rainforest. Her work is many faceted; however, this channel focuses on her musical career. 

Her artistic debut, "Munay” , coming March 2025, features 11 original songs, each a deep prayer, weaving together lyrics in Spanish, English and the indigenous Inga language. The compositions feature a colorful collection of traditional folkloric instruments of South America including a wide range of wind instruments with soft and rustic natural percussion of rattles, seeds and skins. Mariah’s warm and delicate vocals weave together with rich strings of charango, guitar and upright bass. Inspired by her ceremonial healing journey with Yagé, where she experienced profound spiritual transformation, “Munay” invites us on a journey back to the heart, reclaiming what it means to live in harmony with nature.
