I had the awesome opportunity to meet with the group A Tribe Called Red at the American Indian Community House (AICH) in NYC. DJ’s NDN, Bear Witness, and DJ Shub gave a presentation on what it is that they do and what inspires them. As natives music lives in our culture and we are proud of our culture. These guys are creating new tradition for our culture. It's allowing the younger generations to be inspired through their culture. They have blended traditional music, dance, and other forms of art with today's digital art forms. When it comes together it makes you just want to dance and feel proud to be native! Bear Witness explained that he wanted to figure out a way how to take the stereotype that people have on us as natives and make fun of it! I know it sounds kind of twisted but when you twist it with digital sound it sounds uplifting--talk about change! Natives today have taken digital and social media to the next level in our culture! So if you haven't experienced the sounds and visuals of A Tribe Called Red check them out!

I was surfing through Youtube and multiple times Scott Vladislav Abraham came across my recommendations. I gave him a listen and I have to say he definitely has talent. It's always good to hear some new round dance songs from a new artist. I am sure I am not the only one who can say this but on those long pow wow road trips its fun to jam out to some round dance tunes on the way with a car full of natives. LOL there has been times when we even had battles on who knows the best round dance jams. I am sure I may win this pow wow season with the sounds of come Scott Vladislav Abraham! LOL Now you can all add him to your playlist. Keep the songs coming Scott!!!!!
