«I will invoke the power of my ancestors and my shamans so that the curse of the Dabukuri falls upon those who have tried to do us evil,I assure you that you won’t die without torment. I assure you that before you die you will begin to suffer and that your soul will wander through the darkest and most pestilent places before you can,somehow,close your eyes». [13] [14]
The curse was executed on May 17,2017,at the end of the March Of The Shamans in Puerto Ayacucho,the capital of Amazonas. [13] [15]
