In regards to the album cover and its use of the jaguar, Katherine says: “The energy on the streets of Latin America are raw, there’s a wildness there, and there’s a wildness in our music also. We want to ignite something in people, so we chose the jaguar because it has that wild power of Latin America.”
About “Between Two Worlds”, Amaru Tribe said: “Between Two Worlds marks a new chapter for the project. As much as the world has dramatically changed in the past two years, we have changed; and our art and music are always the truest reflections of the many ways we evolve, re-construct and heal ourselves. Our upcoming album has been so far both an internal and intimate manifestation of a new beginning, a celebration of life and reunion.”
