Our first reference on Tikuna Trax could not come from a more fitting Artist.

Dukokar a native from the Amazons, has released consistently amazing works on our sister label Sure Player Recordings with great support from reputable artists and the stores alike.

Bringing a more spirtual angle to the music for our new baby label, Alisson (Dukokar) tells us a little about his first track produced for us titled Cabocio.


' Cabocio surfaced after an in depth look at the Indigenous way of life in the North eastern Amazon region of Brazil.

During the composition process I tried to resuscitate and find elements that are present in the day by day life of the Indigenous people like Vocals, Percussion and Dance styles.

The vocals used in the track originate from the Kapinawa region which use a strong vocal rhythm used in the past together with a special dance to flatten the ground of newly built mud huts.

The shakers used at the beginning of the track are made with the Brazilian instrument the Caxixi which is also used in the various drum processions and diverse Amazonian musical genres.

Cabocio is a mixture of emotions and sentiments that I experienced during my time and immersion with these beautiful people. An experience that made me connect to the real Brazil.'
