La Selva de Shenkari - Inchatomashi irashi sheripiari Shenkari
Shenkari Chobiavante was an important and prolific performer of Asháninka and Nomatsiguenga music styles. During his lifetime (approximately between 1904 and 1990) he was famous as a sheripiari, healer or shaman, throughout the Matereni Basin region, along the Ene River and in Pangoa. He healed children, youth and adults relying on the power of kamarampi or ayahuasca (Banisteriopsis caapi) in healing sessions that he guided with his songs.
