Music: Drop: Liberation as the first single in a waterfall release…..
The song is ready… what’s needed for this is visuals….
Also, I know we’ve been thinking Patreon but what I really want to do is have a year-long Ancestral Exuberance immersion in which a song is worked with each month. This would be a one Saturday a month prayer and transmission gathering, where folks attune to the new music and it’s themes. (or better on Sundays?)
Could this drop Dec 21 for Solstice? Or Jan 1 for New year? If so, the order would be
Dec/Jan - Liberation
This would be:
Full moon releases / gatherings:
Incantations for Ancestral Exuberance: A Year of Full Moons In Music
Waterfall Moon: A Year of Incantations for Ancestral Exuberance | aka album release as ceremony
Join Taya Mâ for a year of transmissions of ancestral exuberance, deep groove and sacred chant. Gather on the Sat/Sun a month, closest to the full moon to experience songss and teaching from her new album, Incantations for Ancestral Exuberance

tracks on this page are drafts not for distribution. taya mâ’s full music catalogue is here.
art on this page is from the Dreaming Liberatory Ancestral Futures collaboration between Ani Ganzala & Taya Mâ, the cover feature of Interdisciplinary Journal for Partnership Studies, fostering cultural transformation from domination to partnership & prioritizing the advancement of human rights and nonviolence, gender and racial equity, and the adoption of new metrics rendering visible the economic value of care.
Ani’s piece Aruanda (above, acrylic) highlights the relationship between the Black Diaspora and botanical technologies for physical and spiritual healing, and their piece No mundo aquático dos peixes e réptais, nós sonhamos / In the aquatic world of fish and reptiles, we dream (below, acrylic) depicts physical and spiritual connection through black and queer love. Taya Mâ’s chant Solidarity (forthcoming) is a lovesong for liberation, an invocation of interdependence, and a call for collective care across realms, born from making ritual and offering prayersong for a free Palestine.
Ani Ganzala is an Afro-Indigenous visual artist, activist and mother whose work revolves around the love and spirituality of black women and LBTQIAPN and the honoring of nature and the ecosystem in which we live. Taya Mâ is a ceremonial artist embracing embodied, earth-reverent devotion as liberatory spiritual practice. Ani & Taya Mâ first connected on the sacred shores of Bahia, Brasil almost two decades ago. Their friendship and their creative work is rooted in ancestral dreaming, earth reverence and spiritual activism.
