about

Citahuicyani [Seet-Ah-hweak-yaa-nee] is a word I created by combining the two Nahuatl words: "citlalli" meaning star and "ahuic yani" meaning a wander/traveler.

I created the word to pay homage to my indigenous Mexican roots. Too often words and concepts are created from European-based languages, ignoring the existence of the vast number of indigenous languages of the Americas.

It describes someone who explores the stars and who isn’t an astronaut or space capitalist, but rather, travels the galaxy to see its beauty and experience the unknown.

Each song in this EP series is accompanied by a story that details the adventures of an unnamed citahuicyani. The process of writing and experiencing music is very visual for me; by capturing that imagery into words, I am able to share a glimpse of what I visualized as I created these songs. Hopefully you can too.
