미분류 Tiny Desk Playlist: Celebrating Native American Heritage Month

본문
Conversations about Indigenous people are usually in the past tense: Who were they? What were their lives like? Discussions of Indigenous music forms are often the same way, thought of in an antiquated notion of drums and flutes. But Native musicians today are engaging with genre, unsurprisingly, the same way any other artists might be — in exciting and vibrant and incredibly diverse ways.
Indigenous performers at the Tiny Desk have exemplified this perfectly, even in an admittedly small sample size. They've brought genres from folk to rock to hip-hop, and sounds and languages from all across Turtle Island. The only commonality between them: absolutely none of them alone could possibly represent the breadth and beauty of Indigenous art.
In addition to these previous Native performers, I'm so pleased to have worked with the Tiny Desk team to bring three more musicians to the stage for Native American Heritage Month: William Prince, Ya Tseen and Raye Zaragoza. I hope that many more will follow. As Nicholas Galanin of Ya Tseen says, "It's Indigenous Peoples' Month every month. Don't you forget!"
