Rapeh Song of the Day – “Eskawatã Kayawã”

“Eskawatã Kayawã” translates to “The War of Heaven” in English. It is an expression from the Yawalapiti language, spoken by the indigenous Yawalapiti people who live in the Upper Xingu region of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The term refers to a significant ceremony conducted by this group, known as the Eskawatã Kayawã. This traditional fighting ritual symbolizes war and competition but is carried out as a way to strengthen social bonds among different tribes of the Xingu, promoting peace and unity. The event is part of a series of rituals during the Kuarup festival, which honors distinguished deceased individuals, celebrating life, death, and renewal.
