YUM CHÁAK (translated from Mayan traditional tale) These days then, Do you insult the rain or not? What did you answer, what do you think? Is it necessary to insult the rain? These days It is already customary to hear insults to the rain "Damned rain why didn't you wait for it to finish washing? Or "Why didn't you wait for me to get home and drop in?" These and other similar phrases we can hear. At this time is it said that it is not necessary? Although it is true that it is insulted But our grandparents tell us not to insult the rain Because it gives us life and Yum Cháak is just doing its job. Then it is said that we should respect them Because they... Yum Cháak... the gods, they are ancient gods that are alive, alive today. The day it stops raining... They know where they have hidden water, Because it is said that they keep water And when there is a drought they go to look for the hidden water, They go to those places to look for water, They go to those places to look for the water so that they can make it rain, Make it rain in times of drought.

about

YUM CHÁAK, the Mayan God of rain, which gives the name to this album, is a symbol of a force that washes unsolved pains and regrets. It’s the voice of a tireless guardian of our Mayan heritage, which lets us know the legends of living gods, those who give us identity and show us how the wisdom of the past, and it’s still valid for ears that know how to listen to the heart.
