Burning Man is the name of the alternative festival that takes place at Baker Beach, San Francisco, every year since 1986. There, participants live for a week in a sort of city that even includes a first-aid station and church. People camp on the site during the event and are responsible for bringing what they will consume, including water.
Blake, who is 30 years old, has gained a legion of fans through her alternative music, which she calls “affirmation music,” discussing her experiences with ayahuasca and conspiracy theories. Recently, she declared herself the “final boss of Burning Man.”
However, she also faces criticism from users who accuse her of being a white person appropriating indigenous traditions. The criticism intensified after Blake released the song “Peru Song,” in which she talks about her experiences with shamans in Peruvian mountains.
In the song, she also discusses how she learned many things from “aliens” and that humans used pyramids to “travel through time.” To Rolling Stone, she spoke about the behind-the-scenes of her life, which she described as “complicated.” According to her, ayahuasca was the only thing that helped her cope with a severe kidney infection.
“It’s literally a diary entry of an experience I had when I took ayahuasca and San Pedro in Peru with the shamans there,” she explained, adding that she suffers from “traumas” from becoming pregnant at 17 and having a troubled relationship with her father.
