“Soon you will see, we all sit in the shade of the sacred tree
The water and the knowledge, they can never rob from us
The ancient voices form a key to the lock, setting you free” – ‘Mexica Tiahui’ by El Vuh
With the Mayan apocalypse approaching in 2012 and this and other mysteries everywhere on television, film and bookstores, it could be said that the Mexican-American group El Vuh is a result of the times. Coined “lyrical medicine men” by many who’ve heard their music, the band composed of emcees Zero, Victor-E and E-Rise have a clear goal: to awaken the minds of humanity through ancient Maya knowledge and a fusion of traditional Mexican sounds and hypnotic hip-hop beats.
Come back to this blog often for more information on El Vuh.
