Indigenous Voice
12.26.23
Indigenous Voice highlights Native American & Indigenous contemporary and traditional music from the Canadian Artic to the tip of South America and the Pacific Islands. Native American and Indigenous peoples are still here, and we continue to compose and sing traditional and contemporary music that incorporates our language and cultural teachings, but also may address critical topics like social and environmental justice, suicide prevention, Indigenous language revitalization, and missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW). Native American and Indigenous musicians create music in all genres including country, folk, punk, rock, reggae, hip hop, electronic, jazz, classical, opera, etc. Join me once a month as I showcase the Indigenous Voice from the soulful singing of Renata Flores (Peruvian Quechua) to the hip hop tunes of rapper Frank Waln (Sicangu Lakota) to the operatic voice of Jeremy Dutcher (Wolastoq First Nation) to the folk music of Bear Fox (Mohawk), and many, many other talented Native American, First Nations and Indigenous music makers and shakers.
