They are the guardians of some 200,000 hectares of Amazonian rainforest, of which about 95% is kept intact. In the most biodiverse biome on the planet, their ancestors developed a vast knowledge of the healing plants of the forest and a cosmovision of great spiritual wisdom.The Yawanawá's first contact with the non-indigenous world happened a little over a hundred years ago. The initial conflicts reduced the Yawanawa family to less than 100 people. For decades they endured the presence of the rubber industry and the missionaries who invaded their lands and tried to forbid Yawanawá language, culture and spirituality. In the 1980s, their fight for the recognition of their ancestral territory led the Yawanawá to become the first indigenous people to obtain the official rights to their lands in the state of Acre.Under the guidance and teachings of pajés Tata and Yawa, the last living elders and medicine men of their people, the Yawanawa have been on a profound journey of cultural and spiritual revival. Their sacred rituals, prayers, songs and art are now celebrated all year round. In the last 20 years, the Yawanawa leaders have been dedicated to developing a model of sustainability that allows them to engage with the outside world on their own terms, without compromising their cultural and spiritual identity. Nowadays, the Yawanawá population is estimated at over 1000 people, 80% of which are children and youth. The new generations carry their identity with pride and are committed to the continuation of the legacy of their ancestors.In the last decade the Yawanawá youth introduced instruments such as guitars, flutes and drums into their traditional ceremonies and prayers, and an exceptional musical culture has been rising from deep in the Amazon rainforest. Combined with their powerful voices, Yawanawá music is now known around the world and the new generation of Yawanawá leaders travel the world to share the message of the forest through their ancestral prayers and phenomenal musicAgenda🕑: 07:30 PMDoors Open🕑: 07:45 PM - 10:30 PMEvent Begins - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/santa-cruz/yawanawá-live-music-hapé-ceremony-education-and-art-market-in-santa-cruz/100001985679098637 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, art, live-music, concerts, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 47.19, max: 92.55, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Santa Cruz - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Santa Cruz Yoga - **lat**: 36.9590032 - **long**: -122.0486892 - **full address**: Santa Cruz Yoga, 402 Ingalls Street, Santa Cruz, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Yawanawá Live Music, Hapé Ceremony, Education & Art Market in Santa Cruz - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/40da7927ae880210f14131bbb497b2e9b27ac6af81e15b1b4daa576625c904f8-rimg-w940-h788-dce5dfcf-gmir.jpg?v=1774224546 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Yawanawá Live Music, Hapé Ceremony, Education & Art Market in Santa Cruz being held? - **A:** Yawanawá Live Music, Hapé Ceremony, Education & Art Market in Santa Cruz takes place on Wed, 15 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Wed, 15 Apr, 2026 at 10:30 pm at Santa Cruz Yoga, 402 Ingalls Street, Santa Cruz, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Yawanawá Live Music, Hapé Ceremony, Education & Art Market in Santa Cruz? - **A:** Ticket prices for Yawanawá Live Music, Hapé Ceremony, Education & Art Market in Santa Cruz range from USD 47 to USD 93 depending on the ticket type.
