Tunes From Turtle Island A weekly radio show showcasing Indigenous made music from Turtle Island.
7 stations in 4 countries America.
(1)

The only European radio show to exclusivity promote Indigenous musicians, bands and artists of North America. Originally inspired by the Standing Rock protests of 2016/17, whilst watching videos produced in solidarity with the protests. I found a number of bands and artists that I’d never heard before and decided to delve further into the indigenous music scene of N. I found a treasure trove of mu

sic (but also a huge amount of info on the marginalised indigenous communities). I started to put together a show featuring only indigenous artists from America, Central America Canada and Greenland, so Tunes from Turtle Island was born. Non profit station Resonance 104.4 FM took the show and started broadcasting it on the London airwaves in 2018. Since then its been taken up by Radio Agora (A) Radio Freequenns (A) and Radio Onde Furlane (I) and is also podcast weekly. Strictly a one man voluntary project, my ‘studio’ consists of a desktop PC/laptop, a headset, midrange pro microphone and a copy of the free audio editing program Audacity. If you know of any artists or bands that I may have missed, have any factual or pronunciation corrections or have any info you think I may be interested in, please do get in touch.

The birth of the Turtle Island Radio Show

The only European radio show to exclusivity promote Indigenous musicians, bands and artist of North America . Originally inspired by the Standing Rock protests of 2016/17, whilst watching videos produced in solidarity with the protests. I found a number of bands and artists that I’d never heard before and decided to delve further into the indigenous music scene of N. America. I found a treasure trove of music (but also a huge amount of info on a marginalised people). I started to put together a show featuring only indigenous artists from America, Mexico and Canada, and so Turtle Island was born. Non profit station Resonance 104.4 FM took the show and started broadcasting it on the London airwaves in 2018.

Strictly a one man voluntary project my ‘studio’ consists of a desktop PC, an ebay headset and a copy of the free audio editing program Audacity.

If you know of any artists or bands that I may have missed, have any factual or pronunciation corrections or have any info you think I am be interested in please do get in touch.

You can findlinks for the show and all archived editions of the show here along with complete track listings - https://linktr.ee/turtleislandshow
