Shifting the narrative

In Sitka, Alaska, musician, and artist Nicholas Galanin creates music as Ya Tseen. Imbued in his new record, and across all of his creative output, is a conscious effort to shift the narrative away from painful histories of Indigenous peoples. "Indian Yard" humanizes Indigenous experience in the world in a society that has historically dehumanized us.

A socially conscious song

A review of Warren Gallimore's 'I Just Wanna Tell You' (ft. Austin Leeds & E Marie)

Music encompasses worlds, presents them to the listener and leads them along a sensory experience of its lanes and highways in manners that are soothing and unassuming. ‘I Just Wanna Tell You’ does just this. It’s a world being presented to the listener. It’s not the future, neither is it fantasy. It is the past. Listening to the song brings you face-to-face with flavours of a time that’s rarely remembered, drowned in contemporary artistry.

Urban music from all corners of the world!
