Wow!!!!! We've got a brilliant live musical journey planned for this Sunday to be facilitated by the virtuoso multi-instrumentalist, shamanic music producer - Porangui!!! Ecstatic Dance Los Angeles is thrilled to welcome Porangui and his partner Ashley Klein to cocreate a live improvised dance journey like never before. These two artists collaborate to bring people the most skillful facilitation and delectable world music & sound healings ever!
As a live musician, world soul artist and one-man orchestra, Poranguí weaves ancestral songs and indigenous rhythms from around the globe. Creating his performances from scratch using looping technology, Poranguí’s live grooves range from meditative to dance party, moving the body, lifting the spirit, and transcending the divide between performer and audience. An experience with Poranguí might take you on a journey from deep, earthy didgeridoo grooves to high-vibe ecstatic Brazilian beats to blissful African kalimba lullabies. Serenades and storytelling to beat boxing and booty shaking: Together, these make an unforgettable experience.
You won't want to miss this special event! We are extremely blessed to have them join us during their west coast tour this Summer. Make sure to get tickets in advance in case we sell out. This is our last event of the summer, we'll be back in September!
