Night-time in the Kichwa Amazonian Territory

Artist:
Sarayacu, Ecuador
Notes:

Captured deep within Kichua tribal territory in the Ecuadorian Amazon, this nocturnal soundscape reveals a hidden world that awakens after dusk.
Above, bats flicker through the darkness, their wings slicing the air in delicate beats. Insects surge into a symphony of pulses and hums — sharp, electric, as though the forest itself were alive with circuitry. A solitary monkey stirs unseen branches, its movements dissolving into the whispers of leaves.
From afar, a howl drifts through the trees — haunting, fragile, a fleeting brush with the unseen. Beneath it all, a stream murmurs softly, threading its rhythm through the night’s weave.

This recording is more than sound. It is a portal into the rainforest’s secret hours — where every ripple, chirp, and rustle speaks of survival, connection, and fragile wonder. Each voice is part of a living chorus, intricate and unrepeatable. To listen is to witness: the raw
nocturnal poetry of the Amazon, and the urgency of protecting both its vanishing song and the ancestral lands that shelter it.
