"Earth Veins" presents a multi-sensory, multi-lingual blend of original poetry accompanied by ancient instruments and other instrumental guests. The content draws upon psychological, shamanic, and socio-political perspectives that are translated into performance through Joaquin’s embodied words.

PanGaia creations come out of the necessity and urgency for the protection of the Earth. “We share out of a fierce need, and out of an ‘inner call’ to give voice to what the earth would say if it could speak in human language...what is already embedded all along the mountains, the rivers, our gardens, and in our blood.”

--Joaquin Lopez de San Roman

Earth Veins is a culmination of Earth prayer-invocations drawing upon personal Shamanic experiences that have inspired four years of ritual-performance. PanGaia's unique expression of spoken word and ancestral sound reflect the inherent love and reverence we have for the Earth and all her inhabitants.
