María Sabina
María Sabina (July 22, 1894 – November 23, 1985) was a Mazatec curandera who lived her entire life in a modest dwelling in the Sierra Mazateca of southern Mexico. Her practice was based on the use of the various species of native psilocybe mushrooms, such as Psilocybe mexicana.
Her life
María Sabina was born outside of Huautla de Jimenez in the Sierra Mazateca towards the end of the 19th century, perhaps in 1894 although Sabina herself was not sure. Her parents were both humble campesinos, her mother María Concepcion and her father Crisanto Feliciano, who died from an illness when she was three years old. She had a younger sister María Ana. Her grandfather and great grandfather on her father's side were also wise men, skilled in using the mushroom to communicate with God. After the death of her father her mother took the family to live with her parents, and Sabina grew up in the house of her maternal grandparents.
María Sabina was the first contemporary Mexican curandera, defined as a native shaman, to allow Westerners to participate in the healing vigil that became known as the velada, where all participants partake of the psilocybin mushroom as a sacrament to open the gates of the mind. The velada is seen as a purification and as a communion with the sacred.

Band history
Three Souls in My Mind
The name "Three Souls in My Mind" was initially chosen as a nod towards conventions for long band names in rock and roll. Originally composed of Alejandro Lora on bass Memo Berea lead guitar and lead vocals, Ernesto de Leon on lead guitar, and Carlos Hauptvogel on the drums, the band has been accompanied on some albums by Arturo Labastida on saxophone and Carlos Martinez on trumpet. Sergio Mancera also played guitar on some albums. They performed their first public engagement in October, 1968, and released 15 albums on the RAFF record label before officially changing their name and lineup in 1985.

Cuando tu no estás
by: el triVoy rolando por la gran ciudad, viendo a miles de gentes pasar,
unos van sonriendo, otros van muy serios y otros van corriendo
como queriendo escapar,
De pronto vean los niños de la esquina estan, pidiendo para un taco,
pidiendo para un pan, sus caritas se reflejan la necesidad y el vacío
que se siente cuando tu no estas,
Mas prendido que el sol, mas oscuro que la negra noche, mas profundo
que el mar, mas absurdo que la realidad, mas ardiente que el fuego
infernal, mas inmenso que la eternidad, así es el vacío que se siente
cuando tu no estas,
La gente pasa sin voltear a ver, a los pobres niños que no tienen que
comer, algunos les dan algo pero la mayoria no da nada y su triste
mirada me hace sentir,
Mas prendido que el sol, mas oscuro que la negra noche, mas profundo
que el mar, mas absurdo que la realidad, mas ardiente que el fuego
infernal, mas inmenso que el eternidad, así es el vacío que se siente
cuando tu no estas,
Mas prendido que el sol, mas oscuro que la negra noche, mas profundo
que el mar, mas absurdo que la realidad, mas ardiente que el fuego
infernal, mas inmenso que el eternidad, así es el vacío que se siente
cuando tu no estas,
Mas prendido que el sol, mas oscuro que la negra noche, mas profundo
que el mar, mas absurdo que la realidad, mas ardiente que el fuego
infernal, mas inmenso que el eternidad, así es el vacío que se siente
cuando tu no estas,
Cuando tu no estas,
