Ray Zaragoza in our Spotlight Interview,

So far, 2023 has been a remarkable year for Indigenous musicians across Turtle Island. Many Native Americans bands, First Nation’s musicians, and Indigenous peoples from the Siberian region have released new music over the past several months, and two different First Nations bands from Australia were recognized at the 19th National Indigenous Music Awards on August 12th, 2023 – one band inducted into the Hall of Fame for decades-long contributions to music, and the other band for the Archie Roach Foundation Award.  
Today on American Indian Airwaves, we hear music from Native American and Indigenous musicians that have either released new songs and albums over the past several months and/or have won awards for their acknowledgements and contributions towards Indigenous music across Turtle Island.

Indigenous Musicians Across Turtle Island: New Music, Acknowledgements, and Accomplishments

American Indian Airwaves (AIA), an Indigenous public affairs radio porgram and, perhaps, the longest running Native American radio program within both Indigenous and the United States broadcast communication histories. Also, AIA broadcast weekly every Thursday from 7pm to 8pm (PCT) on KPFK FM 90.7 Los Angeles (http://www.kpfk.org).  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aiacr


American Indian Airwaves is produced in Burntswamp Studios and started broadcasting on March 1st, 1973 on KPFK in order to give Indigenous peoples and their respective First Nations a voice about the continuous struggles against Settler Colonialism and imperialism by the occupying and settler societies often referred to as the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Latin and South America countries located therein.

American Indian Airwaves operates as an all-volunteer collective with no corporate sponsorship and no underwriters.
