Nahko And Medicine For The People stand out as a unique musical collective that marries an array of sounds ranging from folk and world music to hip-hop, with a deeply ingrained ethos of social and environmental activism. The group is fronted by Nahko Bear, who is of Apache, Puerto Rican, and Filipino descent, and his heritage deeply influences the band's music with themes of personal and cultural identity, communal healing, and connection to the Earth being a constant thread throughout their work.

Since their formation in the early 2010s, Nahko And Medicine For The People have built a dedicated global following through their powerful live performances and a series of impactful albums. Their discography, including emotive releases like "Dark As Night" and their more recent acoustic renditions in "TRENCHES (Acoustic)" and "DICHOTOMY (Acoustic)," showcases the band's versatility and Nahko's intimate storytelling. Through songs that oscillate between the personal and the political, Nahko And Medicine For The People not only create music but a movement, inviting listeners into a journey of transformation and self-reflection. Their recent works, highlighted by collaborations such as "OK (ft. Kota the Friend)" and soul-stirring singles like "GIVE UP" and "FUNCTIONAL," continue to affirm their place as musical torchbearers for social change and spiritual awakening.
