Ananse Y La Luna rebirths as Elephant Underwater with new music video

The forest has been our friend here in the Sierra Sur of Oaxaca during the coronavirus lockdown. Anisha Aiyappa AKA Ananse Y La Luna can now add another “Also Known As” to that title – ELEPHANT UNDERWATER – as she floats her life and music to deeper levels. She has been busy making videos in caves and playing music in forests and has launched a new blog, Soundcloud channel and YouTube channel!

From her album Tengo Que Cantar comes a brand new free single and music video shot here in the mountains and edited by Adrian Landeros, a filmmaker we are lucky to have as a neighbour.

Check it out, THIS. WILL. TAKE. YOU. PLACES! Contains nudity.

SyLVAN SOUND NOW ACCEPTS CREDIT / DEBIT CARDS

The Stripe payment system has recently opened up in Mexico so Sylvan Sound customers can now choose to pay by credit / debit cards through their service (in addition to Paypal). You can now choose between US dollars and MX pesos in the shop, in your cart or at checkout. Due to a Stripe limitation, to pay with a Mexican bank card you MUST choose MXN as your currency – USD will hopefully work for all other countries.

El sistema de pago Stripe se ha abierto recientemente en México, por lo que los clientes de Sylvan Sound ahora pueden elegir pagar con tarjetas de crédito / débito a través de su servicio (además de Paypal). Se puede cambiar entre dólares estadounidenses y pesos mexicanos en la tienda, en su carrito o al finalizar la compra. Debido a una limitación de Stripe, para pagar con una tarjeta bancaria mexicana DEBE elegir el MXN como su divisa; esperamos que USD funcione para todos los demás países.
