"Fui em busca das minhas memórias à minha terra natal e tenho uma em especial: um dia cheguei a um pequeno riacho chamado “Chaki mailla yaku”, o lavapiés, onde os caminhantes param para refrescar os pés cansados. Fui até lá para tirar os sapatos e colocar os pés descalços na água. Foi como começar a renunciar à razão para me aproximar novamente dos sentidos, do instinto, das vibrações, dos sentimentos, do mais recôndito. Eu precisava responder se ainda pulsávamos com os mesmos sons com que pulsavam nossos ancestrais e descobri que a geografia e o espaço físico haviam mudado, mas o sentimento íntimo não, eu o sentia intacto em mim." - Carlos Jacanamijoy

["I went in search of memories of my homeland, and I have one in particular: one day I came to a small stream called “Chaki mailla yaku,” the footbath, where travelers stop to refresh their tired feet. I went there to take off my shoes and dip my bare feet in the water. It was like beginning to renounce reason in order to reconnect with the senses, the instinctive, the vibrations, the feelings, the most hidden parts of myself. I had to answer for myself whether or not we still beat with the same sounds that our ancestors beat with, and I discovered that the geography and physical space had changed, but the intimate feeling had not; I felt it intact within me." - Carlos Jacanamijoy]
