Go on a full spectrum journey with this recent live recording of a full moon dance in Eugene, Oregon. Beginning with easeful earth tones, arising into driving bass & deep house, then cascading into rhythmic melodies - may the soundscape support you in exploring the depths of of inner creation. 

The original set featured an opening invocation with 3 rounds of tibetan singing bowls, live vocals throughout and a closing sound healing that was not captured in the recording.

Set-list will be shared after 11 reposts and 111 likes. Enjoy <3

Full Moon Medicine | Deep Bass, Orgánica Ecstatic Dance Mix

The roots of my 20+ year journey in ecstatic music and dance connect most deeply in Africa. It was Alvin Ailey that first opened that portal for me. I then trained with an African Drum Troupe from Mali and began playing percussion for modern & contemporary dance classes. 

I translated many years experience of playing drum kit in an improvisational jazz ensemble onto my hand drum excursions exploring mind altering poly-rhythms steeped in shamanism. 

As we speak, there is something novel stirring in Africa at this very moment - A fusion of modern music, ancient rhythms and vocal chants that take the dancefloor to new revelations of insight & expression. 

Africa has always been dancing since time immemorial, to connect with the Higher Power and that energy can be felt in their music. 
Call it amapiano, afrobeat, new age kwaito, juju, gnawa, highlife or Afro-house… 

With 1.3 billion people of all shades, an estimated 2,000 dialects tucked from north to south into 54 countries, Africa’s envied musical offerings are wide-reaching. And there are deep cultural contexts to each evolving genre.

It’s no wonder why most of my dj sets are heavily fertile with African roots. To me, throughout the course of time, this diverse musical lineage has always understood and laid out the template for the POWER of deep ceremony and celebration. 

This Sunday I return to bring my music medicine to Kalani, the place that helped clarify my greatest inspiration - Freeform Dance. 

As always what happens is a co-creation between the dancers, sacred space holders, music facilitators, the ancestors and the elements.

Kalani Ecstatic Dance 7.10.22

Akasha is the third 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. We are now prepared to enter the exquisitely ethereal realm of Akasha. The gentle welcoming melody in “Path of Illumination” relaxes us in preparation for our journey. Vocalist Meagan Chandler sings four of the ninety-nine names of Allah as Poranguí sings four names of god in different African traditions. This invocation, joining male and female and diverse cultural traditions, serves as a prayer for protection as we gradually remove the veil and dissolve into the cosmic memory of divine consciousness. We are becoming formless, egoless, as we float in the liminal space between life and death. The cosmos slows down. Vulnerable and open to the benevolent pulse of the universe, we are drawn into the inner sanctum of the akashic womb. 

In “Eternal Horizons” a soothing female voice, accompanied by cello and piano, sings a sailor’s folk song, guiding us deeper into the sea of love and loss, encouraging us to surrender more, to shed that which no longer serves. We know that we must let go in order to move on, that we must metaphorically die in order to be reborn, the eternal return. As we sail towards the event horizon and pass the point of no return, we are greeted by a gentle male voice that embraces us in compassion as it slowly delivers us to a brand new world, where we are bathed in peace, love, and understanding. 

It is time to come home to the “Heart of the Mother,” where we can integrate our cosmic journey in the warm arms of our beloved Pachamama. From our experience of ethereal awareness, we have come to truly know in the deepest depths of souls that everything is being held as is meant to be, that we are safe and whole, that we are protected by the supreme love of energetic forces that lie beyond the beyond. We see that our own capacity for love, as fragile as our earthly bodies and yet as infinite as the akashic realm of which it is a part, makes an essential contribution to the unfolding divine plan.

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: Akasha 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. 

Akasha draws upon a grounding array of ancient instruments, field recordings, Celtic runes, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Liquid Bloom’s magical, 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: Akasha will continue to reveal itself with each subsequent visit for all who desire its therapeutic guidance. 

The Kuya Sessions were created by Poranguí and Liquid Bloom for Kuya, in support of paradigm-shifting medicine and therapeutics to help people transform their lives into lives they love. Akasha offers seekers a soundtrack for their journeys toward rebalancing, and is now lovingly shared with listeners everywhere on behalf of Kuya and the artists.
