MAYBE is finally out 💜

Back in 2022, around this time four years ago, I wrote this song...

Since then, it’s changed a lot, been played live, rearranged, and slowly found its way into the Unikornia world.

And now, four years later, we’re finally sending it out into the universe as our first official single. ✨

A huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of bringing this version of MAYBE to life, whether through playing, producing, creating, or helping shape it along the way. 💜

MAYBE credits ✨

Familia! 🥹 Last Saturday was incredible. Thank you to every single one of you who came to celebrate the launch of Golden Roots with us. Thank you for showing up with such beautiful energy and being fully present in the moment.

Together, we celebrated new music, 10 years of Amaru Tribe building community, growing, evolving, and treasuring our connection with all of you. We also celebrated the arrival of Kati and Oscar’s little one, and we truly felt the love in the room.❤️‍🔥

A huge thank you to all the special guests who shared the stage with us: Ausecuma Beats, Paul George, Future Roots, Soa Gabi, and Santiago Rojas. You helped create a magical night that everyone enjoyed and will remember.

SPECIAL THANKS to @thenightcat_fitzroy for being one of Melbourne’s greatest supporters of live music, to @jdcreativesoundz for the exceptional work with the sound production, @neishaclothing for making us look 🔥 and to our friends and family for helping make this event possible. We love you all!

Remember, this Sunday is our final Melbourne show for the year at Colombia Rising, a community-led benefit event supporting the people and communities affected by the devastating earthquake that struck Colombia on 10 August 2026. We’ll be playing at 6:00 PM. Come join us and be part of something special.

¡Salud! ❤️🌱Gracias! Los amamos.
Amaru Fam

What a beautiful week surrounded by music, art, culture and most importantly is the people.

From reconnecting with old friends to meeting new faces and bringing @movimiento.community to life, I was reminded that arts & culture are more than just entertainment. They’re how we express who we are, where we come from, and how we connect with each other.

Culture isn’t something that belongs in the past. It evolves through the people creating it, sharing it and moving it forward.

Melbourne, I had a blast as always, I will be back sooner than later.

CULTURE. COMMUNITY. MOTION.
