An amazing journey of music and medicine with Dik Darnell and introducing Mayan recording artist Tze'ec (pronounced Tees' AK), meaning "living in both realms". Tze'ec is of Mayan and Mexican descent and possesses the unique ability to understand the relationship between these two worlds. Dik's musical gift allows him to paint with music the "scenery" of each song.
Through Mayan Dream Tze'ec shares ancient Mayan stories and philosophy taught to him by his Great Grandmother and T'hab"tic, his teacher. His stories give us powerful insight into this 20,000 year old culture. The musical feeling of ancient times invites us into the stories being shared.
Tze'ec (Dan Rios) has a masters degree in Religion specializing in Mesoamerican studies. He taught and developed curriculum in Mexican American history. He has danced professionally with the Nacionale Baile Filklerico and the Baile Aztlan of Mexico.
His teachers urged him to come forward now, as we move into the final 20-year katun period of the Mayan calendar, to share the ancient wisdom of his ancestors. Tze'ec's deep appreciation for his Mayan heritage and his esteem for his elders has enabled him to provide this unique expression of his beloved culture.
Mayan Dream is 55 minutes of traditional music, chants and philosophies. The 4-panel CD booklet and 5-panel cassette insert are in full color and contain the Mayan text and lyrics as well as the English translations.
