The Michigan born artist, composer/pianist, singer and producer’s spiritual name translates from multiple different languages to “Ancestor, Healer”. The name Chakuna comes from the Quechua word Machakuna which means Ancestor. If one chooses to pronounce “Machi” as Ma-KEE (Ma-Qi),  it roughly translates to “my energy,” which she believes she has carried with her from a past life to this one so that she may use her gifts to transmit these healing vibes.  “Asa” also translates from Hebrew meaning “healer” and from Swedish it is pronounced “o-sa” and means “Goddess”. And, “Asa” also means “hope” in multiple different languages. Her name, Chakuna Machi Asa was activated in an ancient indigenous Peruvian Shamanic ceremony.
