“A young man ventures into the land of Urumaco, a region in Falcón, Venezuela, known for its Mesozoic and Cenozoic rock formations, and there, driven by a profound existential crisis, he discovers a gateway to other spiritual dimensions that are powerful, hallucinatory, beautiful, and sacred. We are witnessing an epic of the soul, a map being drawn upon the unknown, an impossible travel guide to places as ancient as the universe itself, where narrative logic is dictated by profound experience. Welcome to 'Cuadernos de Urumaco' a hallucinatory and fascinating journal that Andrés Levell has gifted us”. – Fedosy Santaella

EPIFANÍAS. RECITAL POÉTICO-MUSICAL documents an exceptional collaboration: the words of poet Yolanda Pantin and the musical compositions of composer, pianist, and writer Andrés Levell. Held in Caracas in 2025, featuring the Aequalis Aurea choir and a sculptural installation by Javier Level, the book now presents, in the form of a stage script, Andrés Levell’s highly personal notes and the selection of poems he himself chose from three of Pantin’s books: Lo que hace el tiempo, El dragón protegido and Bellas ficciones. This edition—featuring the original sheet music and photographs of the event—seeks to preserve the memory of a work in which sound and time continue to reveal what is essential.
As Verónica Jaffé notes when recalling the experience, in that dialogue the piano seems to take on—to quote Pantin’s verses—the «canto de otra lengua», the «voz sin palabras», the «melodía sin letra» of poetry, knowing that «solo la luz es dato cierto», even if it is “subjective”.

"Beware, reader: this is a sharp book! From a position that is only seemingly passive—that of a mere observer—Andrés Levell expresses bold and original insights and opinions, draws on fundamental cultural references to support his arguments, and displays a range of rhetorical tools that transform his essays into a relentless invitation to reflect on the symbolic, aesthetic, and ethical nature of crime, pain, language, and art. The diversity of the subjects addressed demonstrates the breadth of his thinking and the plurality of his perspectives. By blending literary and philosophical tones, this collection of essays examines the gradual shifts that categories such as “death,” “resurrection,” and “transcendence” have undergone within our collective imagination. Through a series of overviews of music, art, and other social practices that have shaped Western history, these “hard-hitting” texts call for a reinvention of Western spirituality rooted in the most routine social practices—from the revival of forgotten customs to the memory of everyday life. “Read to believe.” – Mariana Suárez
