Is ayahuasca slowly bubbling up to the pop mainstream?
"I based [the opening track] off a traditional icaro, took a piece of a melody and built an arrangement around it. It comes from a tribe in the Amazon — they have no electricity, they live in a very primitive way, but they're a shamanic kind of tribe that basically does healing work. They're an indigenous tribe [from Peru] that uses medicines like Ayahuasca to work on people. And there are these healers [that] sing these songs kind of based on a scientific level. It's like geometric harmony and melody. They're so primitive, and yet they're doing something that's so incredibly sophisticated."

There is enormous cross-cultural variation in the way people behave when they drink alcohol. There are some societies (such as the UK, the US, Australia and parts of Scandinavia) that anthropologists call “ambivalent” drinking-cultures, where drinking is associated with disinhibition, aggression, promiscuity, violence and anti-social behaviour. There are other societies (such as Latin and Mediterranean cultures in particular, but in fact the vast majority of cultures), where drinking is not associated with these undesirable behaviours — cultures where alcohol is just a morally neutral, normal, integral part of ordinary, everyday life — about on a par with, say, coffee or tea. These are known as “integrated” drinking cultures.”
