Kuya Sessions: Sol
|
|
Sol is the fourth offering of the Kuya Sessions. Cura led us on a shamanic journey of body-centered awareness. Our journey continued in Samadhi, unifying individual and universal consciousness. Akasha brought us to exquisitely ethereal realms and now Sol carefully weaves the terrestrial and celestial sounds of our ancient solar origin as children of the sun.
Embedded within the sonic signature of the world’s oldest musical lineages and enhanced with field recordings and samples from across the globe, Kuya Sessions: Sol is best experienced in its Journey Mix format, where the boundaries between the three movements are as ephemeral as the voyage itself. In preparation for embarking on this ritualistic path, one is invited to create an environment for inner exploration with the help of a quiet and dark room, headphones, an eye mask, and an intention of healing and discovery. Sol draws upon a grounding array of ancient instruments, field recordings, indigenous invocations, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Liquid Bloom’s alchemical, multi-dimensional sound. Distilled from the intention of providing listeners a path toward healing and a safe space from which to embark on that odyssey, Kuya Sessions: Sol will continue to reveal itself with each subsequent visit for all who desire its therapeutic guidance. The Kuya Sessions were created by Poranguí and Amani Friend (Liquid Bloom) in support of emerging paradigm-shifting medicine and psychedelic-assisted therapeutics to help people transform their lives into lives they love. Sol offers seekers a soundtrack for their journeys toward rebalancing and is now lovingly shared with listeners everywhere on behalf of the artists. |
BEAUTY WAY
|
|
How do we make everything that we touch more beautiful than we found it?
According to Diné (Navajo) teachings, to Walk in Beauty (Hózhó Naashá) is to live in balance and harmony with the unfolding beauty of all life. Walking the Beauty Way together, we weave ourselves more deeply into the entwined fabric of universal consciousness, becoming more connected with ourselves, with each other, and with the Earth. On Beauty Way, Poranguí is on a mission. The album weaves together diverse Afro-latin rhythmic forms with ballads, folk songs, and ceremonial music, blending world instruments from didgeridoo to kalimba with multilingual vocals. The powerful lyrics in Beauty Way meld with this sonic fusion informed by Poranguí’s pan-american heritage to issue an invocation and a call to collective action. Vocals take the center stage in this album of reverence, healing, and community. Expressing the sanctity of the Earth and the artist’s concern for its future, in the focus track, “Walk in Beauty,” (track 3) Poranguí invites us to “help me love this sacred home” to “walk in beauty, talk in beauty, live in beauty, be the prayer the world needs now.” |
