“Inti Batey is medicine-music. During the lockdown the Sun God known in other cultures as: —“Inti”, “Tonatiuh”, “Apollo”— gifted us with community, music, and compassion: the perfect ingredients to create a ‘Batey’, a space for joy, celebration and jam!
Through hundreds of years, pre-Columbian culture of the Puerto Rico native people —also called Taínos— referred to ‘batey’ as a place where people would meet at the end of the day to share, discuss and let off steam by playing music and dancing. In a time of exacerbated isolation and lonely digital screens, the age of longing for community support and warmth our ancestors had felt is more present than ever in us, and it birthed ‘Inti Batey’, which means Sun Gathering.
Our intention now is to share not only the stream of music that so effortlessly flowed from our collective, but also to express our gratitude by inviting our audience to be a part of the healing space in respect and friendship.” (Source)
