Shining Soul, with Tohono O’odham, Diné and Chicano roots, has a new album, “Politics Aside.” Once deemed “Arizona’s Public Enemy” the Hip Hop trio takes their musical inspiration inward, but don’t hold back on substance. And you can still dance to it. The album contains over a dozen tracks that wrangle in urban styles with lyrics that resonate in their Indigenous communities. For them, the music is so meta, and that comes straight from one of the songs on the album. Join us to find out more about their musical statement on the world.
Guests:
