Great but could have been loaded a little louder...

Ascentia

Sol is the fourth 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. Akasha brought us to exquisitely ethereal realms and now Sol carefully weaves the terrestrial and celestial sounds of our ancient solar origin as children of the sun. 

“Igniting the Sacred” beckons us to venture beyond the familiar world of illusion. In preparation for the great journey ahead, the soothing sound of vocalist Meagan Chandler and Poranguí ask the benevolent guardian Spirits to open the roads and grant us safe passage.   

Gently purified in the celestial flames of truth, the imaginal cells of our awareness emerge from the primordial sound of “Liminal Sun” to reconnect with the original solar pulse of all creation.  Ancestral Nahuatl invocations carry us across the timeless song lines to meet our heart’s most sacred essence.  

As we emerge in “The Great Turning”, we are embraced by the rolling thunder of our majestic blue home amidst the vast cosmos.  Through the dark side of the Sol, we return more whole, awakening to the blessings of the Waters with an original prayer song for the Afro-Brazilian goddess of the sea, Iemanja, and a morning water prayer song from Native American elder, Chief Delbert “Blackfox” Pomani of the Hunkpapa Lakota.

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: Sol 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. 

Sol draws upon a grounding array of ancient instruments, field recordings, indigenous invocations, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Liquid Bloom’s alchemical, 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: Sol 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 (Liquid Bloom) in support of emerging paradigm-shifting medicine and psychedelic-assisted therapeutics to help people transform their lives into lives they love. Sol offers seekers a soundtrack for their journeys toward rebalancing and is now lovingly shared with listeners everywhere on behalf of the artists.

Kuya Sessions: Sol

Poranguí & Liquid Bloom - Igniting The Sacred

The vocals immediately catch your ear there’s a smooth, soulful vibe that strongly recalls Tenobi’s delivery on “What You Need.” The tone and phrasing feel intimate and effortlessly controlled, giving the track an emotional undercurrent that elevates the deep chill-house foundation. Whether it’s the same voice or just a striking similarity, it works beautifully in the context of the arrangement. Your ears won’t let go!

Those Eyes

盂蘭盆会 -Ullambana-

This track is from 2008. Amani, Rara and myself started to produce music around wisdom teacher's teachings. This one is with Eckhart Tolle.

"Falling Stars" composed by Amani Friend. 
Eckhart Tolle edit produced by Craig, Amani, & Rara

Desert Dwellers - “Falling Stars” (Eckhart Tolle edit)

The Initiation of the Shakti Queen comes when we have embodied all of the six archetypes. 

Divine Mother: She is a womb centred woman, who has surrendered open to the Divine flows of Divine Mother, father God Goddess.

 The Lover: Her erotic intelligence has lined up with Divinity. Her inner Aphrodite is in her temple and she is not leaking he sexual power. 

The Wild Women: Kali is the aspect of our shakti our erotic energy that is the fire of transformation. She is the current of liberation that can travel through our bodies and chakras purifying and clearing all the stuckness all the numbness if we have the courage to feel.

The Priestess: She has passed the initiation of the priestess, her devotional heart has cracked open and she has found the deep stillness and presence of the priestess and embodies her inner feminine and inner masculine as one ecstatic alchemical flow of creation. 

The Wise Women: The wise woman leads as her voice of authority and she leads through her kind heart. She is a womb centred woman and her voice echoes her instinctual wisdom and deep heart knowing.

Shakti Queen: She is a queen for she is not afraid to be seen in her vulnerability or her power. She shines her radiant light upon all beings she touches. The Queen is an ecstatic devotee of Divine and her life is lived through the heart in service and in surrender to Love.

Raven Song (Wu Wei Remix) - Elephant Revival Sm 003

Murray Kyle is honestly one my favourite acoustic musicians on the planet. I am super exited to have created his first ever remix. I love as a producer to build bridges between the acoustic and electronic worlds to unite cultures through music. 

The original version of this track is from Murray's latest release entitled TALISMAN, and for this remix we teamed up with our good friend DJ LO QI to bring this one through.
lyrics
Here in the now I am hearing the now, as I listen, and I listen. 
To the sound that grows on up from the ground, can you hear now in the here and now. 
Can you hear that the song of the Earth, she be singing in a cycle, in a circle. 
In a circle round with a sound that carries the ancient memory, constantly, gracefully. 
Calling us to heal now stewards are we, from the inner world to the world we see. 
Raising up our voice for unity.

Hija mia mi querida
Aman, aman, aman
No te eches a la mar
Que la mar esta enfortuna
Mira que te va llevar

Que me lleve que me traiga
Aman, aman, aman
Siete puntas de hondor
Que m’engluta pexe preto
Para salvar de l’amor

My daughter, my dear
Aman, aman, aman
Don’t throw yourself into the sea
For the sea is stormy
It is going to carry you away

May it take me, may it pull me down
Aman, aman, aman
Seven fathoms deep
May a black fish swallow me up
To save me from love

Ija Mia Mi Kerida

As we stepped out of the magical forest, we found out some vibes were still there.

This is how Silva, our new single, was brought to life.

Enjoy the sounds of the forest and find yourself dancing while you're being cuddled by those melodies and rhythm.
