Music, Lyrics and Legends

from the 2003 Release
Black Turtle Island

from the Debut CD
Rise Again Truth



swirlblack

Continuing in a style that began with her debut CD: "Rise Again Truth", firmly rooted in the Roots Reggae Tradition, the music of Tchiya Amet is a blend of Indigenous and Contemporary cultures and rhythms. This music keeps the culture, myths, legends and rhythms of the Ancestors alive.This music carries the wisdom and the teachings of the Elders forward into the future, by reaching out to the youth of today.

This music seeks to express the voice of a nation denied the most basic of human rights, time and time again: the right to self-determination, even the right to exist.

 

The existence of Indigenous Black Indians of Turtle Island is a controversial topic in Indian Country today. Nevertheless, we continue to exist, and we continue to make music.

 

With remnants of Ancient Traditions, Tchiya Amet has crafted a colorful cultural quilt, to provide warmth and comfort to the Indigenous peoples of the 4 Directions during these trying times.


OTHER RHYTHMS INCLUDE: AFRO-CUBAN, AFRO-POP, DOO-WOP, SKA, SADE, NATIVE CHANTS AND BEYOND...
