AMANI - Ambient Warm Up Set for Rhythm (7/21)

The age of sonic medicine continues to unfold in the shape of Poranguí and Liquid Bloom’s landmark curative music collection, ‘Kuya Sessions: Cura.’ Created as an aural container for the cutting-edge frontiers of psychedelic-assisted therapy, this extrasensory journey invites listeners to cross the threshold into the realm of shadow and light, uniting the principles of indigenous wisdom, plant medicine, and holistic psychology with the world-bridging potential of cinematic sound design.

Designed for Kuya, a state-of-the-art health clinic in Austin, TX that is incorporating paradigm-shifting therapeutics, integrative psychiatry, and regenerative medicine into a visionary approach to trauma processing and healing, ‘Cura’ offers seekers a soundtrack for their journeys toward rebalancing, and is now lovingly shared with listeners everywhere on behalf of Kuya and producers Amani Friend and Poranguí.

Embedded with the sonic signature of the world’s oldest musical lineages and enhanced with field recordings and samples from across the globe, ‘Kuya Sessions: Cura’ is best experienced in its “Journey Mix” format, where the boundaries between 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. 

The first installment in this four-part release series, ‘Cura’ draws upon a grounding array of instruments, vocalizations, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Amani Friend’s tenacity for surreal, 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: Cura’ will continue to reveal itself with each subsequent visit for all who desire its therapeutic guidance.

Lyrics:
Play pretend
Say we're friends
Odds and ends
Strange dividends

Stabbed in the back
A weak attack
Insomniac
Of the Zodiac

Crucify
This Goodbye
A battle cry
On standby

Say no more
Close the door
Forevermore
On this metaphor

I wish you well
In sweet pastel
An infadel
On the carousel

Faker
Heart breaker
Taker
Vindicator

Liquid Bloom, founded by producer Amani Friend (Desert Dwellers | Desert Trax), is a visionary world-electronic project that bridges ancient traditions with modern production to create immersive, transformative sound journeys. Emerging in the late ’90s from explorations in organic trance for healing, it has grown into a global vessel for ceremony, dance, and inner exploration, merging shamanic instrumentation, ethereal vocals, and sacred world traditions with cutting-edge electronics. 

Collaborating with artists like Poranguí, Mose, Deya Dova, Ixchel Prisma, and Savej, Liquid Bloom has appeared at international festivals such as Ozora, Boom, Envision, and Rainbow Serpent, while also serving as a soundtrack for breathwork, psychedelic therapy, cacao ceremonies, and ecstatic dance gatherings. Its music, which has featured voices like Paul Stamets, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and Ram Dass, continues to offer sonic sanctuaries for healing, connection, and transformation.
