"O fenômeno das cabeças reduzidas (tzantzas) constitui-se em uma forma especial de conservação cadavérica utilizada por aborígenes do Equador, Colômbia e Peru, com a finalidade de manter as cabeças de seus inimigos como troféu de guerra ou talismã. Essas cabeças, além de conservadas, apresentavam-se com acentuada diminuição do seu volume. Muitos pensavam que esse processo era devido a uma prática capaz de reduzir o tamanho da cabeça. Na verdade, tal redução se devia à retirada de todos os ossos do crânio e da face, com o cuidado de manter a pele íntegra. 

Através de um corte na parte posterior do pescoço retiravam esses ossos e a bolsa de pele da cabeça era colocada em água fervente com ervas por 15 a 20 minutos, o que diminuía em cerca de metade o seu volume. Em seguida, por meio da ação do calor conseguiam encolher e endurecer (corificar) a pele da face e da cabeça, colocando nessa espécie de saco de pele humana uma pedra quente e recheio de areia que lhe servia de molde, o que diminuía pouco a pouco o seu tamanho. A isso juntavam-se ainda certas ervas aromáticas e ricas em tanino, o que evitava o mau cheiro e a putrefação."

Pasos para hacer el ritual “Tzantza o “Tsantsa”

En la historia del ecuador, si nos ubicamos ni mas ni menos por el Oriente los Jíbaros hacían el ritual “Tzantza”; que consistía en hacer cabezas reducidas de sus enemigos para evitar que esos espíritus malignos pudieran salir y tomar venganza .

Para poder hacer el ritual se requiere seguir estos protocolos: 

Primero se debe conseguir la cabeza, en lo que el matador hace uso de su ensemat (herramienta que se usa para el ritual), el cual se le introduce entre la boca  como en el cuello de la cabeza una vez cortada, lo amarra y huye rápidamente del sitio.

Luego se procede a hacer un corte cerca de la clavícula, justo por detrás de la cabeza para con cuidado y paciencia poder separar la piel del hueso del cráneo. Luego se hace una incisión arriba del cuello para lograr quitar la piel, la grasa y la carne del cráneo.

Debajo de los parpados que se han cosido previamente se le pone semillas rojas para que no se hundan y la boca se une usando tres pasadores de palma, luego de haber sido secada con un machete al rojo vivo. Para que la cabeza mantenga la forma se utiliza una bola de madera.

La piel debe sumergirse en por hervida por un tiempo entre 15 y 30 minutos. El agua debe tener varios tipos de hierbas con contenido de taninos que hacen que el pelo no se caiga.

Luego de sacarla del agua, la piel se seca con humo. cuando se la seca se le retira cualquier resto de carne que se haya quedad utilizando un cuchillo, así ya no habrá malos olores ni existirá la putrefacción

Se puede dar forma a la cabeza y su morfología usando rocas calientes y para coser la parte trasera donde se hizo el primer corte, por ultimo se tiñe la piel usando carbón y se le adorna con granos 

Según la creencia se tiñe la piel con carbón para que el mésak o el alma vengadora del muerto no salga ni haga daño al que hizo el ritual 

El proceso dura 6 meses y se obtiene la cabeza reducida del tamaño de un puño

Longo de Archidona Con su indumentaria lige4a de habitante de la selva amazónica tropical, el longo, o indiecito de Archidona, provisto de una shigra o bolso tejido; de su chonta o báculo de madera negra durísima; cubierto con un ligero poncho; adornado con collar de mullos, y descalzo, lleva a vender en la Sierra productos naturales del Oriente: hierbas raras, canelas, hojas de coca, raíces de guayusa, cantáridas, drogas extrañas, collares de diente zahíno, uñas de la gran bestia, pepas de corozo, adornos de plumas, carey de tortugas de río, y a veces, clandestinamente, alguna tzantza o cabeza humana reducida. Subían por el río Quijos, hacia los páramos de Papallacta o por el sendero del cañón del Pastaza, desde el Puyo hacia Ambato. Y de su penoso y largo viaje a pie volvía con alguna medicina, con otros objetos de comercio e intercambio: bambalinas, espejos, abalorios, pólvora y fulminantes para las escopetas, alguna lata de sardinas, un poco de sal y azucar, charquí y manteca para el consumo familiar.

Nicola Cruz - Rio Branco by Multi Culti Ecuador’s rising son, Nicola Cruz, returns to Multi Culti with Cantos de Visión One of the core artists in Multi Culti’s diverse catalog of globally-inspired dance music, Nicola Cruz is deservedly becoming the poster-boy for a new wave of producers that fuse indigenous sounds with internationally professional production, creating something entirely new, sonically. It’s a genre that Multi Culti ambassadors Dreems & Thomas Von Party refer to as ‘Folklorica,’ a psychedelic replanting of folkloric roots, and nowhere is it more skillfully executed than on Nicola’s tracks.  Following up on his debut LP for Latin America’s indie powerhouse, ZZK Records, the return to Multi Culti sees Cruz sharpen his focus toward igniting the downtempo dance-floors that have slowly been gaining ground in clubs and festivals recently. This new club sound is at the fore on lead track Tzantza,  already an integral part of Nicola’s live shows and DJ sets at festivals like Sonar and Mutek. What stands out most, other than the sampled lead Marimba, is the sheer mass of the kick drum, the immense pushing power of this 102 bpm chugger. Bruxo and Danza de Visión follow suit, flexing some seriously first-world mixing mojo, elevating Cruz’s work to heights that the growing legions of flute-bearing imitators will only reach in their stoned dreams.  The vinyl package will also feature Mantis and Invocación, off his debut Multi Culti EP, two incredible tracks that will finally get the 12” real estate they deserve. A remix EP will be following in February, featuring remixes from Jaja, Argentina’s Uji, Multi Culti’s own Thomas Von Party, and more.
