SANTIPARRO

Born in the California desert and raised in Detroit, Alan Scheurman has released music as Santiparro since 2010, a name given to him by a Wixarika elder on pilgrimage. Blending indie psychedelia with folk intimacy, his debut True Prayer (2015, Gnome Life) featured Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Kyp Malone among others, beginning a creative thread with Oldham that resurfaces in his 2025 single Chaos Incarnate, written in response to a question about reincarnation and released ahead of a tour opening for him. After a decade living in Joshua Tree and releases including The Talon (2018), Shadow Dancer (2020), and Everywhere You Ever Were (2024), Santiparro is returning to playing live shows more frequently. Scheurman has also been living and learning on a medicine path since 2007 and has been an initiated practitioner in the lineage of Shipibo-Konibo maestros Sina and Bawan Meni Ramirez since 2015. His music is informed by two decades of medicine work, plant and tree diets, and hermetic perspective.
