Arjuna released one album, as I know, em 1999 called "La Montagna Sacra".
It's very difficult to find information about them in the web.
They play symphonic prog, close to Osanna and Dalton. Here a text from this website:
 
Arjuna is an italian band that was created in the 1995. The player are: Andrea Monetti (flute, sax, ethnic flutes), Salvatore Turco (drums and percussions), Iannotta Massimiliano (bass) from Amanita; Goffredo Fioravanti (piano,hammond,keyboards) and Nick Le Rose (voice,guitars) from R.B.F. Sometimes Giuseppe Turco (guitars, sitar) partecipated to some performances, expecially in the ethnic tracks.

Since their album title is a Jodorowsky reference, they have my endorsement. Cool

Sounds nice, but with information and samples a bit scant, we may need to wait until someone on the team can acquire the CD.  Or perhaps a myspace page will come online soon with a Bio and more samples.  We'll keep an eye open.

Never heard about them, but i see they are listed on ProgLucky's A-Z guide:
ARJUNA (Italy) - Pre-ALHAMBRA prog rock. Very good!

What a fabolous album!
I found a combination of symphonic, folk and even psych moments in the first song specially, there are also a mid-eastern oriented track, and i have no doubt they are a worth addition for PA,  it has it's RPI moments which actually remind me to some 70s Italian monsters, but due to the several styles envolved, i believe RPI is not the genre which fits the best.
 
My Brazilian friends, what do you think?
I will comment about it in the RPI thread in the collab zone
