Lucky Salvadori

Iedere zondag van 16:00 tot 17:00 bij Pllek: Laidback Live. Dé ideale chillsessie met live muziek om je weekend mee af te sluiten. Gewoon live in ons restaurant – dus gratis toegang! – terwijl je van je drankje nipt. Deze donderdag een extra sessie (buiten op ons strand bij goed weer) met Lucky Salvadori!

Geboren in Buenos Aires begon Lucky Salvadori op 9-jarige leeftijd met het maken van muziek. Hij verdiepte zich van jongs af aan in de populaire cumbia-scene, een muziekgenre met invloeden uit Spanje en Afrika. Lucky reisde in 2018 af naar Colombia, waar hij zich vestigde en samenwerkte met artiesten als Liliana Saumet en Manu Chao. Als gitarist was Lucky zes jaar lang bandlid van Manu Chao en speelde hij meer dan 200 concerten tijdens zijn wereldtournees en nam hij het album Viva Tú op.

Uit experiment en onderzoek ontstond zijn nieuwe project: Funky Chingolero, volledig gecomponeerd door Lucky en gecoproduceerd met Manu Chao. Dit werk weerspiegelt een evolutie van zijn sound: een mix van cumbia, elektronische beats en alle invloeden die hij in de loop der jaren heeft verzameld.

Lucky biedt een meeslepende cumbiashow, waarbij hij zijn stem en gitaar mengt met elektronische pads, samplers en synthesizers, wat een levendige, spacey sfeer creëert die de stijl naar zijn eigen sonische universum brengt. Het repertoire omvat nummers van zijn album Chicha Dub, niet eerder gespeelde nummers van zijn EP uit april dit jaar, en cumbiaversies van memorabele Latijns-Amerikaanse salsaklassiekers.

Every Sunday morning you can enjoy yoga with a view of the water at Pllek! The dynamic lessons are held outside on a wooden deck – during summer days – next to the restaurant. There is a buildup from meditation to asanas, chanting and holding on or letting go.

Each lesson is a journey inward with attention to breathwork, respecting your physical limits and finding relaxation and peace of mind in all poses. The lessons are suited for both beginners and more experienced yogi’s as teacher Bianka makes sure that everyone gets the guidance they need during the session.

Poranguí

Ashley Klein

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 | CHAKURANA EUROPE TOUR

Join Poranguí as we create a circle of rhythm, sound, and movement! Rediscover the first and most complex instrument known to humankind: yourself.

Together we will explore where voice and Spirit meet in improvisational dance. By embracing our unique voice and cultivating expression in a safe & celebratory container, we sing our souls and braid our voice together to amplify healing and beauty. No experience necessary, this is for all!

Poranguí, through his masterful improvisations and ancestral songs, creates a journey that transcends mere performance. His music, a rich tapestry of global rhythms, moves both body and spirit, serving as a portal to communal awakening. Decades of devoted study and a deep connection to his Brazilian, Mexican, and North American roots have imbued his live loops and ancestral melodies with the pulse of the Earth herself. Each note and rhythm resonates, connecting us across continents and cultures, inviting us into a diverse and healing musical heritage.

Vijay Krishna

RESCHEDULED: this event will take place on July 30th. Ticketholders have received an e-mail. Be welcome on July 30th!

Kirtan, or devotional chanting is an ancient Indian practice. Bhakti, is a path into the heart. Together this night we will create a doorway to heaven and it is sure that the entire city will benefit from it. In a temple-like venue with carpets and cushions on the floor you are invited to settle in and get to a peaceful  place in your heart. You might want to offer a flower to the altar or drop your sacred item to get it charged with ecstatic vibrations . Our minds will be swept empty while repeating the holy names and this will brings us to the core of our heart.

Vijay Krishna, band leader of KIRTANIYAS is a devotional kirtan singer, multi instrumentalist, yoga philosopher and producer. He grew up in a Vedic culture of song, dance, philosophy and devotion in the UK, India and  travelled many countries together with his talented wife Sarasvati. Vijay Krsna composes phenomenal hybrids of traditional Sanskrit mantras and kirtan with cross-cultural musical influences.

Citralekha dasi is a dedicated practitioner of bhakti yoga and the founder of Vedic Essence – a school for Vedic and yogic philosophy. Through her teachings, she shares wisdom on topics such as life purpose, the cycle of karma, the yoga path, self-realization, and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. She also offers yoga classes where she gently guides students toward deeper layers of their being – from body to soul.

Her poetry collection, “Surrender of the Heart” , originated during a world journey through many spiritual traditions in search of deeper meaning in life. That quest led her to the path of bhakti yoga, where she found profound purpose through devotion and connection with God, Krishna.

A central part of the bhakti yoga tradition is mantra chanting – sharing transcendental sound vibrations to cleanse the heart and mind and reconnect with one’s soul and God. With her harmonium and mrdanga, Citralekha travels to various places across and beyond Europe, offering mantra concerts and wisdom with the intention to inspire and enrich others on their spiritual path.
