My path has been a long and winding road of initiations, mystery, transformation, and a deep study of both music and the spiritual traditions of Central and South America. It feels almost impossible to condense the essence of who I am into a single page on the internet yet what I can share is that every step of my life has been guided by sound, song, and Spirit.
As a child in the Guatemalan forests, I felt surrounded by the ineffable presence of the divine, as though ancient secrets were whispering all around me. Singing became my first language with that unseen world my way of touching something I could not name. For me, music and the spiritual path have never been separate, even in the times I thought they didn’t belong together.
Hi, I'm Ayana
Through my music I seek to create sounds and melodies that harmonize, heal, and bring balance back into the self.
Through Alkame, I invite others to explore their own voice as a path of healing, empowerment, and self-discovery.
My offerings are born not only from study but from lived experience from losing my own power again and again, and learning that it is through trust in ourselves that we return to the path of the heart. When we reclaim our voice, we root ourselves back into the Earth, able to blossom into the fullness of who we came here to be.
Whether through music, ritual spaces, sound journeys, or workshops, my work carries a single thread: to help people reconnect with themselves, reclaim their inner strength, and open to the beauty and mystery of Life.
As an artist, I hold the voice and the words we weave through it as the most powerful medicine we carry.
Though I’ve been singing since I was four years old, in 2017 my relationship with sound and the voice profoundly shifted after initiations with the Shipibo and Q’ero traditions of Peru. These experiences opened me to music as medicine and planted the seeds of my deeper calling. Eventually, my own paternal Mayan lineage began to call me home, and after years of working within South American traditions, I devoted myself fully to the Mayan Cosmovision. Here, my heart and soul have found their truest resonance, and from this place all of my music now flows as prayer.
