Recordist's notes
Ayahuasca is made of two main ingredients: the DMT containing vine Banesteriopsis caapi and the leaves of the chakruna - Psychotria viridis. The men prepare the vines, while the women of the church prepare the leaves. In this recording we can hear the women singing in distance while we, the men, are scraping the vine.(men and women are seperated during preparing and drinking the brew.)
