Sounds of original instruments "Wayuu"
Flutes: Sawawa, Maa´si
Clarinet: Wotoroyoy
Drum: Kaasha
Mouth Harp: Truompa

Original work for "Trailer Wayuu"
Siko´u (Fire in the Cemetery) Traditionally a bonfire was lit in the cemetery (nusima outushikai), for about a month, with the purpose of "giving birth to the dead". In this way. the lexerna "fire" would also be associated with the semiotic value "life", in which "Jepira" would appear as a site of transition towards the domain of eternal life in the afterlife.
