Earth Keepers by Poranguí, Shaman's Dream, Eric Zang
An intentional collaboration between revered global artisans, Earth Keepers unveils three devotional pieces among three inspired architects. A document conceptualized, developed and ultimately manifested over a four-year sojourn, many moons and long miles in the making, the Earth Keepers EP evolved from nascent conversations between Brazillian musician Poranguí and Sahuna Love (of Shaman’s Dream) on the prescient need for improved loving stewardship of our sacred Earth Mother.
Along with crucial contributions from Eric Zang - a flute and percussion master- this music seeks to inspire individuals to cultivate their own bodily temples in accordance with the purity of Mother Gaia. Guided by principles of reciprocity and complementarity - with an understanding that we are all vessels comprised of Earth elements, let us dance and sing in body and breath, moving gracefully through life, and make the righteous choices to bestow our beloved planet with her appropriate honor and respect.
On the collaborative EP Earth Keepers, Poranguí, Shaman’s Dream, and Eric Zang time-travel across the continents, transmitting transcultural rhythms and gossamer hymns. The songs maintain an integral balance of reverence for the musical and spiritual traditions of the cultures from which they draw inspiration, and the haunting elegance of their own
expressions, a record brimming with depth, inner resonance, and mysticism.
