The intercultural group known as Sol
Nokokishi have re-released their popular LP album, “Vol. 2 Odjiko
(Resurrection).” It forms the second part of Sol Nokokishi's
critically acclaimed series which currently comprises seven
full-length records of uniquely exotic new-age music, each of which
symbolizes a facet of humanity's part in life, natural order, and the
universe. An a-capella collection unlike any the music fan is likely
to have heard elsewhere, “Vol. 2 Odjiko (Resurrection)” by Sol
Nokokishi is an ethnic and spiritual music experience listeners of
any music genre won't want to miss.
Sol Nokokishi is the short name of the
Sun Child Symphonix Arkestra [sic]. The group prides themselves on
recording music which describes planes of being, emotion, and
understanding which transcend those with which the common passerby is
typically familiar.
Describing the overall message and
theme of “Vol. 2 Odjiko,” Sol Nokokishi writes, “Sol
Nokokishi's a-capella, sophomore re-release is a melodic expedition
of Naka-Kishi thought and culture. Recorded in the raw and live
vibration of the jungle rainforests of Central America, each tone and
vibration is aimed at resurrecting our inner divinity and encouraging
us to awaken our latent potential. While very pleasing to the ear,
the 'Odjiko (Resurrection)' experience is a deliberately boundless
expression of divine love.”
Music by Sol Nokokishi is released on
the Kiyokayo.Bio and Rbtbushfrog.Media recording labels respectively,
with copyrights held by the Kiyokayo Bioworx Institute. The Sol
Nokokishi / Sunchild Symphonix Arkestra was formed in 1999
proclaiming a mission statement “to promote social and
environmental awareness forwarded through the ancestral visions of
Naka-Kishi culture.”
Information with regard to Naka-Kishi
is hard to come by outside of that which is provided by Sol
Nokokishi, themselves. This makes each of their published albums much
more than a mere music release, but a cultural time-capsule
describing the nuances and beliefs of an elusive people whose mark on
the world is perhaps most clearly viewed in terms of this elegant and
evocative music.
Prof. Jo Nak-Itomi, director of the
Kiyokayo Bio-Worx Institute's Kobo Shashoko-shishi cultural
initiative writes of this, “Our community is culturally rooted in
endangered / marginalized and indigenous populations from around the
world. We intentionally made an exodus to the jungle rainforest of
Central America to flee the oppression, death, sex slavery etc.
perpetrated by the modern war and conflict matrix currently
escalating around the planet Earth.
“While the original founders of our community were escapees of the blood diamond, tungsten and other natural resource conflicts responsible for the destruction taking place throughout Africa (Congo, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Libera etc.) our community is now also made up of asylum seekers from numerous additional ongoing conflicts taking place in regions such as: South Asia, West Papua New Guinea and North/Central/South America. Many of the escapees were artisans, musicians, griots (cultural archivists), healers and farmers in their original communities. We are now 'cultivating a new being' in a peaceful and natural environment, raising a new culture with many ancient roots. Although it takes time for scars to heal, our Sol NOKOKISHI healing tones have been a major part of the process and now our community is currently growing in wellness. We hope to share healing and wellness with the people of the world.”

Sol Nokokiski provide the following
official bio on their official website [links provided below]:
“Within Naka-Kishi society, the
communication arts are revered as conscious compositions used to
celebrate festivals and cosmic events, perform rituals and correspond
with the forces of nature. Every song, chant, and drumbeat is an
intentional expression of the collective. Amongst the Naka-Kishi
people, the art of invocation and proverb is complimentary to the art
of inscription and scroll. Both are used as techniques that develop
character and mindfulness as knowledge is passed from generation to
generation. While also entertaining, Naka-Kishi tone teaches social
values that stimulate excellence. It is used to praise cultivation or
criticize neglect of the community.”
Also of chief significance is the
charitable nature of the Sol Nokokishi group, whose bio concludes by
saying, “All proceeds from all Sol Nokokishi album sales go to
support our rainforest community and human excellence initiatives.
