SEWA (sisters of the one drum)

Sewa Valencia is a Yaqui Yoeme woman, Keeper of the Drum, storyteller, and culture bearer. For over three decades, she has carried the heartbeat of her ancestors through song, story, and ceremony—serving women, youth, and community through the sacred medicine of the drum. Her work is not performance, but living prayer, rooted in ancestral wisdom and responsibility. Guided by the ancestors, Sewa creates spaces of remembrance, healing, and cultural continuity
