Founded in 2011, drummer Marko Cipäktli and classically trained soprano vocalist Pat Cuikani sought to fuse the pre-hispanic and rich folkloric elements of Mexican folk music with heavy metal. Drawing on instruments, melodies, mythologies, and oral histories of their ancestral Mexica (pronounced “mesh-eek-ah“) people, the band tells powerful, evocative stories that transcend language and culture. Cabrakaän have released two EPs: Songs from Anahuac (2013) and Cem Anahuac My Home (2019). Their upcoming full-length release, Aztlán, is their most ambitious release to date and will be available on streaming platforms everywhere on November 17th, 2023. Production: Lunar Ring Sound & Graphics Inc. Director: Angela Ambrose Cinematographer: Angela Ambrose Very Special Thanks: Dima Kolosov Rahbek Salomons Alexander Smith ------------ LYRICS (SPANISH/NÁHUATL) Niwinti, nichoka, niknotlamati, nik mati, nikihtoa, nik ilnamiki: Ma ka aik nimiki In kan ahmikoa Al despertar En otro mundo estás Debes cruzar Tu xolo te guiará Quiero ver en el camino Pluma azul, jade y destino ¿Eres tú? ¿Mictecacihuatl? ¿Lograré pasar las pruebas del Mictlán? In kan ahmikoa, in kan on tepetiwa, in ma onkan niaw... Ma ka aik nimiki, ma Mictlán Cerros pasar Vientos te han de llevar Siempre hacia el sur Las flechas lloverán Y al final, alma serena Líbrame de todas las penas. ¿Eres tú? ¿Mictlantecutli? He pasado al fin, las pruebas del Mictlán ------------ LYRICS (ENGLISH) Nahuatl: Niwinti, nichoka, niknotlamati, nik mati, nikihtoa, nik ilnamiki: Ma ka aik nimiki In kan ahmikoa (I am intoxicated, I cry, I mourn, I think, I say, within myself I find it: if it never disappeared). Open your eyes In another land afar You must travers Your guide awaits you there. I’ll join you there On the path you tread Azul plumes, jade, destiny, light Is that you, Mictecacihuatl? I shall boldly take, this passage to Mictlan Nahuatl: In kan ahmikoa, In kan on tepetiwa, in ma onkan niaw... Ma ka aik nimiki, ma Mictlán (There, where there is no death, there, where she is conquered, may I go there... If I never died, I hope, Mictlán...) Mountains we’ll scale The winds will take us there Always heading south With arrows raining down In the end, serene spirit Set me free From all this torment Is that you, Mictlantecutli? At last I have made, my passage to Mictlán
