Episode 41: Indigenous Artists

Thanksgiving? No creo. This week we're giving you a little antidote to some of the revisionist history that's popular at this time of year by bringing indigenous artists who are making music that emphasizes their roots, integrating indigenous languages, instrumentation, and cultural references. We hope that you'll hear evidence that the colonial project has failed - indigenous cultures today are alive despite it all, and this small sampling of dynamic and diverse bodies of work is a tiny taste of that lucha.

Featuring music by Dr. Sativo, M.C.H.e. & Tzutu Baktun Kan, Luzmila Carpio, Los Kjarkas, Los Nin, Mare Advertencia Lirika, A Tribe Called Red and Lido Pimienta.

Letra: La mula no era arisca, pero la hicieron, la niña no era feminista, pero aquí nos vemos, compas creemos, machitos no sabemos, por que es normal que los lobos vistan piel de cordero.
