Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community celebrating live music on Hive. Each week is a new event, encouraging musicians to share songs with an international audience.
This week's Hive Open Mic theme is: Nuevos Tiempos. In English, this means: New Times. One of the songs that I carry speaks of the new people for the new era, envisioning the the union of all nations. To me, this is what our Hive Open Mic community is all about.
This song originated after being in a ceremony with an indigenous tribe from the Amazon rainforest called Yawanawa. They visited our community, sharing their songs, and showing their customs. Years later, I still have flashbacks from this event blazed on my mind, and in fact, I wear a beaded bracelet every day, reminding me of those people and that inspiring way they live.
Sacred Birds of a Feather
Open invitation to enter
The tribal circle here in this terreiro
Brothers and sisters children of earth
We unify and harmonize
I sense the presence of the Creator
Now creating a new people
Who dance to the rhythm of Mother Nature
Joining forces to grow together
I am ignited I am inspired
By the inner fire of the Holy Spirit
I reach for the hand of the Almighty
Lifting us up into the heights
Viva to the North American eagle
Viva to the South American condor
Viva to the union of all nations
Viva to the sacred birds of a feather
