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.

Kuya Sessions: Cura

Cura Journey Mix

Poranguí & Liquid Bloom - Cura Journey Mix

The first part of my 5th long mix providing a musical space for journeys within and psychedelic ceremonies. 2nd Part for Going Deep is here: https://soundcloud.com/michael-rasa-1/this-is-it-part-2 . Expect 3rd part in September 2022

"Part 1 - Settling" is meant for settling in, arriving at the place where you listen to this music, relaxing and becoming present
"Part 2 - Going Deep" is meant for the real work, where you on your journey travel within. The music can here help you experience different states and emotions and will guide you through, both pushing you and holding you
"Part 3 - Coming Back" is meant slowly to bring you back, letting go of your inner work, and integrate it in a state of celebration in a space of love and light

SUPPORT

MIX: Apukuna - Surrender Fear Into Love

Soft Current Mix#13 – The Deep Sigh of Homecoming. 

Using these mixes to capture, my wave of experience.
Thank you to the medicine of the music, of the plants, and eachother. This is an ambient , space tripping , downtempo world music journey, including a few personal favourites and some newly collected world tunes. i hope you enjoy the selection.

Its been a while since the last mix. I have tried to make it several times since migrating overseas. Many genres wanted to be explored, and experimented with before I have settled on this piece. Alas something special was born to start the new year with. At the time of this recording, Im here in British Columbia and the winter stillness has beckoned me to enter this music space once again. The music here reflects my experience over the last few months, certain songs have impacted me in moments, and I wished to compile them all here for a 2 hour journey, replicating a recent journey we had with Huachuma the cactus here in the Rocky mountains, This experience ive tried to mirror here in this mix. 
~
Suitable for creating art too or having as low level background music, or even in collaboration with some plant medicine one evening. Embrace the sacred with your presence whatever you do. And allow the music to take you to where you need to go. 
You cant go wrong. Thank you for listening. Thank you to all the artists involved, please support there work through bandcamp ect.

With love always. Hazel
