“The Awakening has already been set into motion…”

SATYA YUGA, a Eugene Oregon based band, brings this and other potent messages of self-reflection and change into their live performances and on their debut album, “WINE OF THE MYSTICS”, which was released in February of 2004.

Satya Yuga, a Sanskrit term, means “The Age of Truth”. Corresponding with the Golden Age and the Age of Aquarius, it foretells of a time on earth when all beings will live in harmony. Although received as the name for their project, the members of the ensemble see themselves as just one part of a movement towards a new paradigm based on the principles of love. Combining the elements of Hip-Hop, Reggae, Jazz and Funk, the music of Satya Yuga is a clarion call to unite all in the new ancient way.

Following divine guidance, singer–songwriter/guitarist Omkarananda went to the Big Island of Hawaii in the winter of 2002, where fellow musician Shimshai introduced him to Leo Woods of Lionheart Studios. Inspired by the beauty of the island, Omkarananda began a recording project in January of 2003, which quickly grew to involve drummer/percussionist Julian Fritz. Summoned to the studio, Julian’s tight and tasty playing helped shape the foundation to which Omkarananda was able to mold his tracks. Soon after, Shimshai, volunteered his talents, (keyboards, melodica, and background vocals) to the project. As the recording progressed, many other musicians lent their energy to the fulfillment of the vision.

Arriving back to the mainland, in June of 2003, the live band took shape with the addition of bassist Yacub Webb and trumpeter Jobie Knaus, and the name SATYA YUGA was agreed upon. In September, the second phase of the album began, with the quartet being joined by Portland keyboardist Asher Fulero, (Surrounded by Ninjas, Floydian Slips) recording the tracks “How I Love You”, “Mind Pscience”, and “Living Flame”. Whereas the Hawaiian sessions produced the cultivated roots reggae sound they were looking for, the Eugene sessions offered up more of the Hip-Hop and Soul tunes that round out the group’s sound.
