Owerá – Reunites with Colombian artist Lozk
The new single Jaxy, a collaboration between Indigenous Guarani artist Owerá and Colombian music producer Lozk, arrived on digital platforms on August 9, the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.
Featuring additional vocals by Pará Reté, the track is accompanied by a music video released on the same date. It offers a deep immersion into the worldview of the Guarani people, centering on the sacred figure of Jaxy — the Moon — understood not simply as a celestial body, but as a living spiritual presence, guardian of the night, protector of animals and children, and messenger of dreams and love. Listen here and watch here.
The song emerged from Owerá‘s desire to share part of his people’s wisdom through the universal language of art. In conversations with Lozk, the artist explained that, within the Guarani tradition, Jaxy is a sacred masculine force that watches over the forest and all its living beings throughout the night. This vision became the creative backbone of the project, shaping both its musical composition and visual identity.
Musically, Jaxy bridges ancestral knowledge and cutting-edge electronic production. Indigenous vocal recordings—captured in ritual and ceremonial settings—intertwine with lush synth textures, contemporary rhythms, and nocturnal soundscapes, creating an immersive sonic experience where tradition and innovation coexist with remarkable naturalness and respect. The result is a composition that transports listeners to the heart of the Amazon rainforest beneath the moonlight, evoking mystery, spirituality, and a profound sense of belonging.
The project’s visual identity is equally imbued with symbolism. Designed by Lozk, the single artwork reimagines Jaxy by depicting the Moon not as a distant celestial body, but as a living, protective presence emerging from the darkness of the forest, surrounded by stars and mystical imagery. Rendered in deep blues and shadowy tones, the artwork echoes the dreamlike and sacred atmosphere that defines the song.
Jaxy marks another chapter in the creative partnership between Owerá and Lozk. The two artists have previously collaborated on tracks such as Força de Tupã and Nhamandú, developing a strong bond built on trust and creative exchange. Lozk, who has also worked with Brazilian Indigenous artists such as Djuena Tikuna, has built a solo career around exploring the traditional musical heritage of different regions of Colombia, weaving ancestral sounds together with contemporary electronic production.
“Working with Owerá again felt incredibly natural and enriching. What I admire most about these artists is the way they use music as a tool to preserve and celebrate their cultures. Jaxy is more than a musical collaboration—it is a cultural exchange that honors diversity while discovering shared connections through art and storytelling,” says the artist.
The release of Jaxy marks another step in Owerá and Lozk’s ongoing mission to connect different worlds—the Indigenous and the urban, the ancestral and the digital, the local and the global. The track is now available across all major streaming platforms, accompanied by a visual experience that further expands the immersive universe envisioned by the project.

Warriors, strong we were born Here we stand and carry on With our beautiful tradition The Moon comes shining, has become a guardian And brought harmony to the earth, the magic of the night Young with their beauty, wearing headdresses and beautiful necklaces The Divine Mother gave them the magic of the night They took their bows and arrows and began to aim Following the trail, to the sound of the flutes New Moon, sound of the drums, sound of the little maracás Sacred songs are born, bringing joy to all the children And together they rejoice A warrior, a guardian, watches over the night Our beautiful village, our ancestral territory The Moon comes shining, has become a guardian And brought harmony to the earth, the magic of the night Warriors, strong we were born Here we stand and carry on With our beautiful tradition The Moon comes shining, has become a guardian And brought harmony to the earth, the magic of the night |
