Emílio Diaz

Musician, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and researcher of the ancestral musicality present in the cultures of various indigenous peoples who have walked across all continents.

A walker on the path left by our ancestors, known today as shamanism, and a lover of life and art in its many aspects.

He was born into an ayahuasca family who practiced spirituality in the Santo Daime tradition, and because of this, he had contact with sacred medicine while still in his mother’s womb. From a young age, he was interested in music and the occult.

At thirteen, he began his first contact with what would become his main instrument, the guitar. Around fifteen, after returning from a trip to the Amazon with his father, he began his first experiences with ayahuasca in a shamanic context.At that time, with the pleasure of being in nature and the interest in the mysteries of the universe, he enjoyed exploring the mountain where he grew up, the Mantiqueira. During these explorations, he found a cave. It was there, at this point of power, that Emílio had profound contact with the Great Mystery, with the depths of his own Shadow, with the Earth as a living entity, and with the Cosmos. This process of expanding consciousness also allowed for the awakening to the understanding of the Music of the Spheres, the cosmic symphony of Divine nature, bringing with it the realization that the origin of the universe is sound.

Today, at thirty-nine years old, Emílio has traveled to several countries and has been initiated into traditions such as the Red Path of the Sacred Fire of Itzachilatlan.

In 2009, he received the blessing of Chief Biraci Brasil to work with Rume (Rapé in the Yawanawá recipe) medicine. He also received permission to prepare Santo Daime according to his spiritual lineage, becoming a Santo Daime healer.

Currently, Emílio leads shamanic ceremonies celebrating the seasons in his own community, dedicates himself to the study of various shamanic practices, and maintains a vast musical collection of chants, icaros, hymns, calls, and points that span diverse cultures from the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia.In addition to working to preserve and revive ancestral cultures through music, reverence for nature, and care for the land and the Sacred Garden of vines and leaves, Emílio intends, with these shamanic practices and rituals, to promote the necessary atmosphere to help awaken our own ancestry, regardless of belief, race, or nationality.
