Caption: Sergio Hixkaryana (left) and Ricardo Wai Wai (right) record a worship song they composed in Wai Wai. The recording studio is in a laundry set up by Ethnomusicology team Aimee and Andrew Janzen. The song, roughly translated goes, "God is the prince of peace. Jesus was born on earth like we are born men. His name is Jesus. He was sent as a saviour. Let's follow Jesus. Let's keep going in faith." Upon listening to the recording back again Ricardo (right) exclaims in Portugeuse with a smile, "Oh it's so pretty! I never knew my music was so beautiful."
