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
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
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!
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.
I have an addition from Wallmapu! "Mawiza" is a band who makes ÜL Metal, their vocals being in the tribes language, Mapuzungún.
I was so happy to discover this band since I am in the process of learning the language of my grand family's tribe, and I also love metal of many kinds.
Here is a song I recommend from Mawiza to start
I want to share Lenin Tamayo's music. He coined the term QPop (Quechua Pop) and sings pop tunes in a mix of Quechua and Spanish with anti-colonialism themes.
I made a playlist!
Unless otherwise specified, I grabbed the artist's top songs, and then clicked a little through the discography in case something looked interesting. This occasionally includes songs the albums are named after or very early/very recent songs.
I did that for all the artists on the main post, and then started going through the notes until I, well, got bored. I did get a little less diligent towards the end of it, but - at this ppint, the playlist is 26hrs and 31mins long.
