Symbology of the Maracá

Maracá (mbaraka) is a symbolic element of great importance for indigenous culture. This instrument of mediation par excellence, is associated with the connection with the world of spirits and the sacred universe, creates links between past and present. The Maracá produces a sound that invokes beings of the invisible and bring knowledge and wisdom.

Aislan Pankararu created the art of the festival bringing the power of this sound instrument into indigenous cultures, where the forest and its sound branches come out. Maracas are instruments that activate supernatural powers, producing communication between humans and non-humans, which accompany the singers of the shamans.
