Tillicum Wawa 8-2-12

We interviewed Jessica Martinez Maxey, a flutist and actress out of New York. She has a very unique style of Native American Flute playing which sounds like it was influenced by the pan flute, which she also plays.

We heard music from the Samoan Group, Shakhouse, a song called Pati Mai. Although I cannot understand the words, it seems like a warrior type of song. Check out the video.

We also heard music from Plex, Douglas Bedard, a Nammy's winner. He has a hip-hop style that has a lot of meaning. He is ojibwe out of Toronto.
