David Noriega on No-Till Farming, Music, Ayahuasca Experience, Fatherhood, + Reconnecting to the Land | #8

David "Blank" Noriega is a musician / Hip-Hop producer turned full time organic farmer from Long Island, New York. David has been a close friend of mine for well over 10 years now, and we have created an immense amount of beautiful music / memories over the years.
In this episode we discuss David's music journey, from going as a young bassist who only listened to Jazz and Rock, to becoming one of the best Hip-Hop producers I personally know from New York. To eventually leaving it all behind to become a full time farmer and father in the countryside of Maine.
We speak on David's transformational trip down to South America to drink Ayahuasca, (which he credits to leading him to become a full time farmer), the importance of speaking the truth at all costs, the benefits of No-Till farming, sustainable land practices, why he no longer uses social media, and the importance of forging a closer relationship to the natural world.

Guillermo Martinez on Building Native Instruments, Ancestral Reconnection, Prayer as Medicine, and Mentorship | #10

Guillermo Martinez is a Master Crafstman, musician, and wisdom keeper of indigenous instruments and their history from Southern California.
He is the owner of Quetzacoatl Music, an instrument shop and educational resource dedicated to the distribution and preservation of sacred instruments and their history.
Along with being a master craftsman of native flutes, drums, rattles, and other instruments,
Guillermo is also a gifted performer, and one third of the incredibly talented musical trio, Bamboo Cedar Oak.
In this episode we discuss:
How Guillermo experienced an ancestral reawakening as a young man through traditional Aztec dancing, the early days of learning how to build and play sacred instruments, his love of ceremony, and eventually meeting his mentor, the late Javier Quijas Yxayotl.

We also discuss the confidence and blessings one receives by building their own instruments, the importance of learning from various cultures other than his own, and how nature and spirit respond to the magic of music.
We also went on to speak about playing music from the heart, rather than the mind, responsible and respectful use of sacred plant medicines, the importance of lineage and mentorship, and the journey of fatherhood and what it means to be a good parent.
