bro i LOVE indigenous fusion music i love it when indigenous people take traditional practices and language and apply them in new cool ways i love the slow decay and decolonisation of the modern music industry

[pencildragons]

I WILL !!! I WILL DO THAT

some of my favourite indigenous artists, in no particular order:

Inuit artists:

the jerry cans (esp their album Inuusiq)

beatrice deer

twin flames

Māori artists:

jordyn with a why

Indigenous australian artists:

tilly tjala thomas (i particularly love ngai yurlku nhiina)

kardajala kirridarra (srlsly check out ngajabu (Grandmother's Song))

i've also heard good things abt Baker Boy, but i haven't checked out his stuff yet

[columbidaae]

Another one for Inuit artists is Piqsiq! Two sisters who’ve been doing traditional throat singing since they were kids. They make some really gorgeous, eerie, atmospheric stuff. Highly recommend watching this video of them performing live a cappella using a looping machine, because they might be the coolest people on the planet actually

(Jo March nearly in tears voice) women,,,,

For anyone into North Asian and Central Asian folk music, there's this incredible Siberian folk-pop band called Otyken! The group is mostly women and they're from multiple indigenous groups in Siberia, with songs being sung in their range of different languages. They're so much fun and their music videos are amazing!

[alqemizzy]

i'll go ahead and recommend The Halluci Nation (formerly known as A Tribe Called Red), an EDM group from First Nations Ontario that do really cool fusions of First Nations music with dubstep, moombahton, and hip hop.

[emeraldraccoon478]

I really really really appreciate people who share videos on posts like these, because almost without a doubt every time I love the music but I’ve never got the spoons to click on links and look through a bunch of music or worse google the artist I always end up too overwhelmed to start and I hate that

Haven't seen Belle Sisoski here yet so here we go: she's the current Artist of Year for BURO impact Awards. She's from Malaysia and knows how to play an insane amount of ethnic instruments and mixes them with her own voice. She does covers and her own songs, mixes ethnic instruments with Techno and shows the process. And she's also a live DJ at 19!

And one of her own:

Oh and of course there's also the HU and Bloodywood for people who like more rock and metal mixed in:

Supaman, an Apsáalooke rapper who's really popular in Montana music circles. He samples and loops traditional music and performs in full regalia!

King Stingray with a sound self-described as "Yolŋu surf rock", the band perform songs with lyrics in both English and Yolŋu Matha.

WTF went wrong with The Vampire Lestat: anti-Black racism edition

So many people have been writing excellent posts about the issues with The Vampire Lestat, in particular regarding the show's anti-Black racism. I've been gathering some of these for my own reference and thought I would share. This list is by no means exhaustive. I tried not to have too much overlap on points among the posts, and have loosely organized them. Please add your own/others that you love! (As a reblog or comment)

lilacs-in-the-wind on the show’s choice to deliberately explore race and thereafter its attempts to ignore/avoid it

kriame on the show's changing racial dynamics across seasons (with particular attention to Armand)

coldeveryseason on white liberal insecurity and fandom response to critiques of TVL

General patterns/TVL choices

subcrypha (pre-finale but prophetic) on the white gaze and the taste for Black suffering

coldeveryseason on the decision to remove book Magnus/Marius/Gabrielle’s white supremacy from the narrative: 

tv-kiki on the specific brutalization of Black characters in IWTV/TVL

Incredibly fucked up song to write and even more fucked up to release it

[thekidsfromyestergay]

Delivering a performance that literally sounds like you're tearing your own guts out on the song about the music industry exploiting you until you're dead while you're drunk in the studio because your sudden fame has driven you to alcoholism is the most fucked up thing anyone has ever done

[thekidsfromyestergay]

This is truly truly evil

[realpersonfacts]

been really into the 😁 emoji lately i suppose to remind myself that there is joy to be found even in the direst of circumstances
