BEAUTY WAY: Luayé
PORANGUI

Luayé is a love song to our beloved lunar mother who so generously illuminates the darkest of night with her guiding light.  Across the ages, she has witnessed the unfolding of life and illuminated the shadows with her silver alchemical presence.  Her dance with sister Earth has shaped our entire world with the pulsing tides of time.  Written in the midst of imminent international lunar mining missions, Luayé is a gift to our human family to remember our sacred responsibility to protect our Moon from human ignorance and greed. ​

BEAUTY WAY: These Hands
​PORANGUI

Originally written during the Standing Rock Occupation against the DAPL pipeline, Poranguí’s lyrics speak to the mysterious healing power of love that arises even in the face of the ongoing genocide and war waged upon our indigenous relatives by the US Government and transnational corporations largely unseen to most of the world still today.  Against a backdrop of blazing Brazilian maracatu percussion and aboriginal didgeridoo, the song invokes the sacred responsibility we all carry as two-leggeds with the gift of these incredible hands capable of creating unimaginable beauty or total destruction.  Standing rooted as warriors of unflinching love, we are reminded that even in the face of impossible odds, stewarding all of life is the only way forward, for we are “mending the hoop and restoring the love.”​

BEAUTY WAY: sKin (feat. Alixa Garcia)
​PORANGUI

In "sKin," Poranguí and special guest Alixa García bring a prayer of healing, offered through the powerful and transformative medicine of the drum. This electrifying fusion of samba, reggae, and cumbia invites listeners to come together and experience the healing and unifying power of music and dance.

Featuring pulsating batucada rhythms performed by Poranguí and uplifting lyrics sung in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, "sKin" is a celebration of diversity and unity, and a tribute to the transformative power of music and dance. With its infectious energy and inclusive message, the song speaks to the universal presence of the drum across cultures, and how it serves as a testament to our common origin. The drum is a source of liberation and transformation, inviting the people to "dance in the fire" and restore love and dignity.

As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "I was convinced that worship at its best is a social experience with people of all levels of life coming together to realize their oneness and unity under God."  With one heart, one drum, one prayer, and one família.
