Recorded by Leslie Rollins.

"This icaro (recorded on March 27 2015) is sung by Alberto, a curandero in his Malloca in San Antonio de Cumbaza Peru. An icaro (Quechua: ikaro) is a song sung or whistled in vegetal ceremonies. The word icaro is believed to derive from the Quechua verb ikaray, which means "to blow smoke in order to heal"."
