Native music recording artists join together for a new compilation CD that will help the homeless crises in America. The new CD, entitled,"Rise-up: Music from Native America" includes 21 well known award winning artists that span across styles within the Native American Music genre from traditional drum, flute, rock, hip-hop, folk, new age, blues, story telling, and instrumental. Weaved together, the songs share a story of hope, healing, and inspiration.
This project is amazing. To include such a wide range of music in a way where each track compliments the other is masterful.
(Ken Tripe, 'National Music Today')
This effort, through Spirit Winds Records, co-produced by Donald Blackfox, Jan Michael Looking Wolf, and Kathy Sohler, is intended to promote national awareness of the homeless crisis and raise some funds to help shelters around the country with a portion of the proceeds. Each quarter, an artist on the recording will be able to choose an organization to help.
This is the way it should be. Every artist will have an opportunity to help their favorite non-profit group for the homeless. Our culture is based on equity, on a circle; all the musicians on this recording have an equal place.
Donald Blackfox, CEO Spirit Wind Records
The cover of the CD depicts a Phoenix rising up from the ashes in bright flames. This project was birthed from a shared vision from Donald Blackfox and Jan Michael Looking Wolf, who co-wrote the title track "Rise Up".
It is such an honor to be involved in this project with so many talented, compassionate musicians", Jan Michael Looking Wolf quietly talks into the phone, and “They are all my brothers and sisters. It is a beautiful thing when people can put their hearts and spirits together for the right reasons.
In this beautiful recording, RISE UP is a compilation of award winning Native American Artists from across North America. Enjoy music that travels from traditional flute, drum, blues, rock, folk, new age, hip-hop, and instrumental - all weaved together with a message of cultural unity and healing for all people.
I am so very honored to be a small part of this wonderful endeavor.
Laura "Bright Star" Vannah
