Ava and Mao met in 2020.

​

Ava then practiced shamanism for several years and, trained as a psychologist, accompanied her clients in her treatment practice. Mao, a polyinstrumentalist, was offering sound journeys at the time, and they met within a first musical project.

​

It was then in Mexico that the music of Mariguar was truly born, where Ava and Mao settled for several months to create, inspired by their own healing paths, in connection with shamanism and nature. Accompanied by the totems of the Butterfly and the Jaguar, they explored the dimensions of consciousness available to them and, inspired by these experiences, wished to translate their medicine into sounds and words.

 

The butterfly – La Mariposa – invites transformation and the awakening of consciousness.

 

The jaguar - El Jaguar - offers strength and courage when exploring the shadows.

 

MARI – GUAR is thus the fusion of the two medicines and therefore invites the awakening of consciousness and the courage to explore one's shadow.
