Indigenous

The *indigenous* music genre encompasses traditional and contemporary music created by Indigenous artists from diverse cultures worldwide. Rooted in ancestral rhythms, oral traditions, and spiritual connections to land and heritage, it blends traditional instruments—such as log drums, flutes, and stringed folk instruments—with modern elements like electronic production and fusion styles. Vocals often feature rich storytelling, call-and-response singing, and regional languages, preserving cultural identity while evolving through new influences. From the Santali and Karbi music of India to the powerful Indigenous fusion of Polynesia and the Amazon, *indigenous* music resonates as a living archive of resilience, history, and identity.
