In Hindu and Buddhist belief systems, Samadhi is the ultimate stage of the eight-fold path to enlightenment, the apex of spiritual and intellectual growth where individual and universal consciousness unite. ‘Kuya Sessions: Samadhi’ lives up to its lofty title. It is the culmination of its creators’ decades-long journeys as spiritual seekers and sound healers whose music medicine unites individual and universal consciousness. Poranguí and Amani Friend lead us on a lush musical journey, an exquisite sonic meditation whose beauty draws us to increasingly elevated states of consciousness, offering a glimpse of enlightenment, healing our souls.

‘Samadhi’ is the second offering of the four-part Kuya Sessions. Like the first offering, “Cura,” “Samadhi” provides an aural container for the cutting-edge frontiers of psychedelic-assisted therapy. With or without the psychedelic medicine, these sonic meditations (medicine and meditation share the same etymology) invite listeners to cross the threshold into the realm of shadow and light, uniting the principles of indigenous wisdom, plant medicine rituals, and holistic psychology. 

Like icaros, the prayers that shamans chant during ayahuasca ceremonies, the Kuya Sessions amplify and guide the healing journey. The entwinement of ayahuasca and the icaros exemplify the unity of all things, and perhaps it is the potency of that multilayered cosmic serpent that makes the experience of unity so profound and so deeply healing in ceremony. Similarly, ‘Samadhi’ amplifies and guides the therapeutic experience of psychedelic medicine, dissolving our egos, surrounding us in beauty and awe, indelibly impressing upon us the unity of individual and universal consciousness.

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: Samadhi’ 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. 

‘Samadhi’ draws upon a grounding array of ancient instruments, Tibetan vocalizations, field recordings, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Amani Friend’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: Samadhi’ 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 for Kuya, a state-of-the-art health clinic in Austin, TX that integrates paradigm-shifting medicine and therapeutics to help people transform their lives into lives they love. ‘Samadhi’ offers seekers a soundtrack for their journeys toward rebalancing, and is now lovingly shared with listeners everywhere on behalf of Kuya and the artists.z

Kuya Sessions: Samadhi

Kuya Sessions: Samadhi  - Poranguí & Liquid Bloom

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.

“Madre de la Sierra”, the first single from the forthcoming album Beauty Way by Poranguí, is an invitation to remember the interconnectedness of humankind with Mother Earth. Every part of our body can be found in every part of hers. When we desecrate the earth, we desecrate ourselves. When we desecrate ourselves and each other, we desecrate the earth. 

“Anugwe (Angüe) Duna” (from the Iku language of the Wintukwa people) is a shared principle amongst the 4 indigenous peoples who inhabit La Sierra - the Wintukwa, Kaggaba, Sankha, and Kankuamo. It means “positive spiritual thought'' or “good spirit”, and it is interpreted as the spirit of caring, complementing and reciprocating all that sustains us alive and all the beings we co-exist with in the Universe. The chorus, “caminando en Anugwe Duna” is a call to humanity to walk in this “Good Spirit”: to walk, talk, think and act in Anugwe Duna, collaborating with all of life.

Madre de la Sierra

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.

Ganesha opens the roads marking the beginning of the album with the deep Tibetan prayer bowl laying the resonant foundation. The ancient Sanskrit mantra invokes the elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, Ganesha himself, offering freedom from obstacles in our path in order to manifest our individual and collective intentions.

Lyrics 

Om Gam Shreem Ganapataye Namaha

Om/Aum is a sacred primordial sound & symbol that signifies the essence of all creation, consciousness or Atman.  It is often recited at the beginning of all Hindu prayers.
Gam is the sound representing the energy of Ganesha himself - as remover of obstacles. It is his bija (seed syllable) mantra.
Shreem is a another bija (seed) mantra vibrating the essence of the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi 
Ganapataye, another name for Ganesha and is the formal Sanskrit pronunciation of the god's name.
Namaha is difficult to translate literally, but its meanings include “it is not mine” and “in your essence, we bow to you.”

Poranguí Remixes Vol I

Stardust (Desert Dwellers Remix)

Buy on Bandcamp

Following last month's inaugural installment from Desert Trax, the world and electronic music label releases yet another star-studded line-up of producers re-imagining the rich compositions of World Soul artist, Poranguí. 

This latest installment opens with famed English producer, El Búho, whose Latin American folk and cumbia-inspired take on “Danza del Viento” absolutely lifts the Spirit. Both Momentology and DJ Taz Rashid have been on a hot streak, pairing up for a number of releases on Desert Dwellers' label, but this time the pair aim for a Latin-focused, earthy remix of “Canto de la Selva.” Coming off a massive Desert Trax release earlier this summer in Apu, duo Jakare (Italian producers Halfred and Lo.Renzo) bring their South American slow house sound to Poranguí's “Otorongo”. 

Newcomers to the label Ryan Herr, Walkerji, and Baptiste Sejourne are joined by returning favorites Moon Frog, Ancestral Elephants, and Erothyme. Once again one of the label's most prolific artists, Poranguí, has woven together a powerful constellation of talent to interpret these potent medicine songs.
