Traditional Amazonian healers or curanderos, claim the spirits of the plants communicate with them through lullabies, called Icaros. Every being in the rainforest has an Icaro and its melody alone is believed to possess curative powers. These songs have been described as the “quintessence of shamanic power”. In the Amazon, Icaros are used to call for protection, cure specific illnesses, attract the love and call the spirits of the deceased. (5 min)
