Chakaruna World Bridging Tour: A Journey of Sound, Movement, and Spirit

Prepare to embark on a transcendent journey with the world-renowned musician, healer, and educator Poranguí, as he graces Pllek, on 22. July,  in Amsterdam. Accompanied by the visionary co-facilitator Ashley Klein, they extend an invitation to an embodied experience that seamlessly bridges the seen and unseen worlds.

Poranguí’s live improvised performances, enriched with captivating visual projections, promise an unparalleled journey that leaves us more whole, alive, and deeply connected.

The Chakaruna World Bridging Tour draws its inspiration from the ancient Quechua concept of "Chakaruna," meaning World Bridger. "Chaka" represents the Bridge, while "Runa" symbolizes the People, together reflecting the sacred duty of forging connections between the tangible and the intangible, the Earth and the Spirit, the individual and the collective. Through this tour, Poranguí invites us to step into our own roles as Chakarunas, intricately weaving our spirits into the vibrant tapestry of life and synchronizing with the pulsating heartbeat of the Earth.

The evening opens with an interactive opportunity for the audience to activate their voice and sing together.

Join us for a soul-stirring celebration of interconnectedness and awakening. The Chakaruna World Bridging Tour is not merely a series of performances; it is a gateway to a more profound sense of being, a dance across the bridge of worlds that unites us in rhythm, harmony, and shared humanity.

Poranguí is a world soul artist, live looping musician, and a one-man orchestra whose unique background and ethnomusicology training at Duke University have shaped his distinctive sound.

Raised in Brazil, Mexico, and the U.S, he has spent over twenty years as an artist, musician, educator, filmmaker, consultant, and therapist, utilizing the healing properties of sound and movement to promote individual and collective well-being.
Poranguí's performances are an exploration of indigenous rhythms and ancestral songs from around the world. From deep, earthy didgeridoo grooves to high-vibe Brazilian beats to African kalimba lullabies, he creates his music from scratch using looping technology, taking his audience on a sonic journey that transcends cultural & stylistic boundaries.

With an impressive list of collaborations, Poranguí has worked with artists like Rising Appalachia, Desert Dwellers, Dirtwire, Shaman’s Dream, Liquid Bloom, Ayla Nereo, and many more. He has also performed at numerous festivals and events internationally such as TEDx, SXSW, Ozora and Boom Fest, to name a few.

Poranguí's creative output extends far beyond his live looping performances. As a sound designer and media producer, he has collaborated with renowned director Mitch Schultz (D.M.T. Spirit Molecule) on the soundtrack for the groundbreaking documentary "Ayahuasca," which marked his debut solo album in 2016. Since then, he has been a prolific artist, consistently releasing innovative and boundary-pushing work. He followed up with a remix album of the Ayahuasca Soundtrack on Desert Trax, and in 2019, he released a self-titled live album that was met with critical acclaim. Poranguí's work also includes a four-album series of music for psychedelic-assisted therapy made in collaboration with Liquid Bloom called Kuya Sessions.

Most recently, in 2023, he released a new solo album entitled "Beauty Way". For Poranguí, his work is more than just a profession; it is a calling that drives him to explore new ways of telling the stories of our ancestors and augmenting the voice of PachaMama in ways that resonate with our contemporary culture. His music is more than just entertainment; it is a means of transcending the boundaries of language and culture to unite people through shared experience. Whether he is performing at world-renowned festivals or leading workshops and ceremonies, Poranguí's mission remains the same: to inspire and uplift others through the healing power of sound and movement. Through his work, he seeks to promote a greater sense of empathy and understanding between people of all backgrounds, fostering a sense of community and connection that is sorely needed in our rapidly changing world.
