0:00–0:36 Opens alone

Solo voice enters after a brief hush and holds the field by itself. The chant establishes pitch, breath, and address before any groove arrives.

0:36–1:39 Sets the contract

Light percussion and bass lock under the voice. Nieida and Gánda name the listeners; the first stanza delivers the foremothers’ call—Gula máttut, earth as shared mother—while the pocket settles and carries the address forward.

1:39–2:10 Widens the charge

A second lyric turn keeps the same groove but shifts the questions: complicity, memory of origin, sisters and brothers in distant lands. The form stays continuous; the words enlarge who is being spoken to.

2:10–3:15 Returns the refrain

Nieida / Gánda reappear, then the Gula máttut material and its refrains cycle again. Repetition does the work—proving the call still holds rather than introducing a new section job.

3:15–3:43 Releases and empties

Pressure eases; attention and motor hold loosen. Voice and groove thin together into terminal silence, leaving the form without a hard cadence.

The track is one long held address: solo entry, groove-backed call, widened charge, refrain return, then a slow drain.
