PRESS
Templo Sagrado

Templo Sagrado, or "Sacred Temple", was inspired by Akriza's travels around Central America. Traveling across ancient Mayan land and visiting sacred sites along the way, Tikal was literally written on top of a temple in the ruins of the ancient city itself. Temples can be found all across the ancient world and are places reserved for religious or spiritual rituals and activities such as prayer.
This album is a journey that carries with it ancient and future codes, epic cinematic movements, and soaring vocal melodies. Ranging from heavy bangers to deeper emotional tracks, all inspired by Akriza's travels and live performances across Central America. This album captures and reflects the feelings of awe that arise from witnessing some of the earth’s most epic natural beauty and ancient civilizations' most epic achievements.
The songs were created with the intention to tap the listener into their heart and into their soul. Carrying with it the prayer that all beings may be kind and love more. All tracks carry the dichotomy of balance between light and dark, earth and sky, feminine and masculine, ancient and future--one not being present without the other.
As you listen, allow your body to move freely and express itself. Let the music enter your heart and allow you to drop out of your mind and deeper into your soul.
