Lakota hip-hop artist Frank Waln and singer-songwriter Raye Zaragoza join forces in a concert that celebrates the identity and survival of Indigenous peoples.
~~~~~~~~
Raye Zaragoza is an award-winning singer, songwriter, and performer whose multinational heritage (Native American (O'odham), Mexican, Taiwanese and Japanese) deeply informs her music. This perspective can be heard in her independently released song "In the River," a response to the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation in North Dakota. The quiet yet powerful track resonated strongly with listeners and went viral in late 2016, garnering half a million views on the video, national media coverage, and a Global Music Award and Honesty Oscar. Raye will be performing at NAMM 2018, and will be an official speaker at SXSW 2018.
