Embera Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Embera people of Panama’s Darien rainforest, known for finely woven baskets made from chunga palm fiber. The finest Embera baskets are woven so tightly they can even hold water, a skill that can take months to complete for the most elaborate pieces, and many Embera also decorate their skin with temporary black patterns made from the juice of the jagua fruit, worn for ceremonies and everyday life alike. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
