Ecuadorian folk ambient/dungeon synth act Urku Llanthu - a solo musical project of Pablo Mesías, which transcends ancestral settings and sounds of hypnotizing atmospheres with gloomy melodies and Andean mystics, has released its fourth full-length, Tarpuk Amsa (dark sower in English), via Pablo Mesías' Takiri Producciones Independiente.
Pablo Mesías comments: "Jichi is a mythological being well known in the different native cultures of the lowlands settled in the Andes mountain range that crosses Bolivia. When man does not manage water wisely, the Jichi leaves, leaving drought, poor fishing, hunting flees, and the entire life process becomes unsustainable. She is considered a guardian deity of the waters, who mainly gives the origin of life. It has rarely been seen; it comes out when the sun sets and the night arrives; it is also associated with the stone, the stars and female fertility. The ancient ancestors who lived in the Andes Mountains remember with great wisdom that at the mouth of the Amazon River, there was a lake of milk. There our story is born, there the life of us, who were fish, begins. From that lake of milk, the mother of water [the guió or anaconda] left and began to rise the Amazon River and took us with her, on her back, rising against the current. Searching for the high land, the mystical meadows and mountains, which is what serves men, to form culture so that they are formed from flesh and blood and can live. In the anaconda, tobacco was brought, smoked and impregnated with ideas in a spiritual form to choose the correct path and balance of being. It is the remembrance made for this fourth album, artistic inspiration and musical composition based on the ancestral Andean legacy - a conceptual and dualistic album named in the Quechua dialect Tarpuk Amsa".
