For this episode, we welcome back Kevin Sur (Kānaka Maoli) and Tory J (Quinault), hosts of KEXP’s global Indigenous music show. They share the origins of their show name, Sounds of Survivance, and how the notion of survivance relates to the music they play and informs a way of being. They bring a mix of new releases from Indigenous artists pushing the boundaries of sound, from experimental electronic to soul to hardcore, then share a lesser known track from the '70s group that brought the hit “Come and Get Your Love.”

Finally, Music Director Chris Sanley shares a propulsive piece of futurist folk celebrating Black and Indigenous solidarity.

Songs featured:

1. Ghostkeeper - “Storm Chaser”
2. Ombiigizi  - “Connecting”  
3. Liv Rion - "In My Way"
4. Indian Giver - “Purity (feat. Wiidaaseh)” 
5. Redbone - “Alcatraz”
6. Jake Blount & Mali Obomsawin - "Live Humble”
