Kwicani Thundersong

After being overwhelmed by the forces of Shadow, Kwicani prays for help and becomes Wizards’ guide through the Twin Giants. To get to Kwicani, you must fly like an Eagle and chant ‘Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future’.

The word “Cuicani” is a Nahuatl word that means “Singer.”

Cuicani is a World/Soul band paying homage to Afro-Caribbean and Soul music through the inspiration and influences of their metropolis home in Los Angeles. Established in late 2012, Cuicani’s eclectic mix of members reflects the diversity of the LA city it calls home.

“Fly Like an Eagle” is a song written by American musician Steve Miller for the album of the same name. The song was released in the United Kingdom in August 1976 and in the United States in December 1976. It went to number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 for the week of March 12, 1977.
