About
Sharon Burch
Sharon was raised in the traditional Navajo
culture in New Mexico and spoke only Navajo until she began school.
After high school in California, she attended Navajo Community College
in Tsaile, Arizona and later the University of New Mexico. Sharon Burch's
music is the contemporary expression of traditional Navajo ways and
living. Many of Sharon's songs are in the beautiful Navajo language
and capture the sacredness of Mother Earth and Father Sun and the importance
of family and place to the Diné.

Indigenous Rocks
Incendiary guitar, soulful vocals, house-shaking
rhythms - this is the real deal, this is the band Indigenous. Their
stylistic roots reach back to America's earliest form, the blues; they
can trace their personal roots back even further. A family of musicians
- two brothers, sister and cousin - they have played together as long
as they can remember. Members of the Nakota Nation, Mato Nanji, Pte,
Horse and Wanbdi are all still in their early twenties - but they play
with the skill and tested fire of significantly older souls

R.Carlos
Nakai
To become the world's premier Native American flutist, R. Carlos Nakai
had to rely more on research and innovation and less on his Navajo-Ute
heritage. While the Diné had a strong flute-playing tradition,
it was lost when they migrated from the Northwest Plains of Canada to
the Southwest over five centuries ago. While Nakai may not have been
"born to the flute," it was curiosity about his heritage that
led him to it.

Robert Mirabal Official
Site
Robert Mirabal is one of the leaders of the
Native American musical renaissance. Mirabal's style is less commercial
than many of his contemporaries, building his melodies on the rituals
that have surrounded him all of his life at Taos Pueblo in New Mexico,
where he was born and still resides. "My culture doesn't allow
me to record anything traditional," Mirabal said. "But my
music is informed by the ceremonial music that I've heard all of my
life. What I create comes out of my body and soul, in a desire to take
care of the spirits of the earth."

two worlds. On her new album This Child, the first she has recorded
for EMI Music Canada, she intertwines traditional Inuk chants with contemporary

the tough social realities of life in today's far North. Her clear warm
voice touches listeners with sensitive message-laden songs, sung in
English as well as her native tongue Inuktitut.
