Traditional Amazonian frog medicine. I remember the first burn like it was yesterday, a purifier for body, mind, and spirit unlike anything else I know.

My grandfather was a carpenter, and as a young boy I spent many hours in his workshop, watching him work. That time has remained important to me ever since. Today I make drums, marimbas, balafons, flutes, didgeridoos, and mango heart-seed maracas, always trying to improve on the last one I made. It’s not a production line. Some pieces, like a Marimba or a Balafon, can take two weeks to finish, while other weeks I might create four or five drums in a few days. When the rains come, I’ll often spend my nights on the balcony shaping maracas. What I create depends on my mood, and on what I need for my own healing sound journeys, since playing the instruments I make in ceremony has always mattered to me. It is my art. Because of this, I always have instruments lying around, and I only ever play a few of them myself and every instrument I create and present here is for sale.
If you are a friend from those years, and if you ever need me, I am here for you.
