About me
MonÁxi’s name means Daughter of the Earth in the Kimbundo dialect of Angola, where her family comes from. Raised in Portugal, her music is like a tree, roots deeply grounded in her Angolan Motherland, with branches that stretch up from the Iberian Peninsula, North America, and Brazil, intertwining and growing the most delicious musical fruit, full of unexpected flavors and bursting with rhythmic wisdom.
For 20 years she has been inspiring audiences with her unique combination of soulful vocals and rhythms from the Djembé drum, composing and producing her own songs. In the last 8 years since MonÁxi was initiated on the Medicine Path, her music has reached new heights and has become her greatest tool for healing. MonÁxi is a versatile multi-instrumentalist and, using her loop station delights in creating the sacred sound container for personal transformation and growth, evolving soundscapes for Healing Medicine Ceremonies, Sound Journeys as well as Lively Concerts where the listener can come to sweat their prayers.
MonÁxi will also offer workshops in Vocal Activation, Intuitive Djembé Drumming & ceremony.
This is Monaxi’s second time facilitating workshops and performing at the annual Balispirit Festival and we are excited to have her back.
