RESOUNDING HUACA is Manongo Mujica’s ambitious sound project to bring together a seven CD and two DVD production, in a unique packaging in the shape of a Huaca made out of fine wood. Part of what Mujica has produced in the last twenty years exploring sounds to invoke that ancestral and avantgarde is compiled here. Free improvisation, ritualism and exploration of jazz fusion.
RESOUNDING HUACA
Note to deepen its significance.
Huaca means sacred thing. A Huaca is an object, a phenomenon, a place or being in which the force of that which is sacred has concentrated.
From his origins, man perceived whatever sacred in the landscape. Nothing is more evident in relationship with primitive religiousness than the cult to nature.
Relevant places were the target. Caves, oasis, dunes, mountain tops, islands, woods and forests, deserts, stones, swamps, mountains exacerbated the emotionality of individuals.
Terror, exaltation, lyricism, desolation, lucidity, mystery are sensations that were reflected on the landscape.
(text by Brignardello)
Divinity reveals it is free to adopt any form. That whichever sacred is qualitatively different from profane but it can manifest itself in any form and in any location within the profane world.
(text by Eliade)
