Our Story
Reviving an ancient sound through artistry, culture, and family.
Rafael Itzcoehua
Rafael Itzcoehua, an indigenous Aztec artist, began exploring his ancestral roots amidst poverty and violence in his country.
For Rafael, art became both a spiritual calling and a way to provide for his family. Today, his team joins him in handcrafting Death Whistles in Colombia — reviving an ancient Aztec sound for the modern world.
What we Believe
Death Whistles aren’t toys — they’re sacred instruments tied to Aztec beliefs about life, death, and transformation.
We honor these origins and the people who keep them alive. Every whistle embodies both reverence and celebration — a reminder that even in death, there is sound, spirit, and beauty.
