When asked if music can change the world, Bechoko musician Mason Mantla doesn't hesitate.
"Definitely," he says. "Why not?" 

A moment later he qualifies his response, however slightly.

"I believe music can change the world, if the world is ready to be changed."

...

He says he wants to be part of the solution for the challenges facing his community, and a role model for other Tlicho people. To that end he considers himself a storyteller, using an acoustic guitar to back up songs that, as he says, challenge everyday situations in his community.

"Music is a very personal thing for everybody," Mantla says. "It is the most direct way to enter somebody's psyche. They're already listening; you might as well say something."
