Critical Beats Presents Govinda


Street Ritual has again teamed up with Critical Beats to bring you Govinda‘s latest releases, Teacher Calling and The Xavante. These two tracks are a cross-cultural attempt to create awareness and spur action in support of forest preservation. All proceeds from the tracks go directly to non-profit organizations that support Amazon conservation and social justice.

It features the voice of a Shipibo Elder from the Amazon singing in her native tongue as well as a flute from a native medicine healer living in Cusco.  Furthermore, the tracks percussion comes from a native living in the Sacred Valley.

Exclusive: Knowa Knowone Talks Critical Beats/His New Release and Saving the Amazon

Ladies and Gentlemen, Street Ritual and Critical Beats have teamed up to start a four part release campaign to raise money and donations to benefit the Amazon Rainforest. The campaign releases 2-4 tracks at a time over the course of both Spring and Summer of 2011. Proceeds from the tracks will be going to RAN (Rainforest Action Network), with a goal of providing significant funds for Rainforest Preservation in the Amazon. All the heavy-hitters from Street Ritual, Critical Beats and the Do Lab will be creating hype for each track, with a goal of raising significant funds for rainforest preservation. With that said, the campaign has started out massively, with its first release being Knowa Knowone‘s new track, Amazon Secrets.
