\"Pykatire<\/a>

Pykatire Kayap\u00f3<\/p><\/div>\n

Pykatire Kayap\u00f3<\/span> <\/strong>is a Kayap\u00f3 musician, living in Par\u00e1, Brazil, and a pioneer in Kayap\u00f3 engagement with digital and social media.

 <\/p>\n

<\/a>

JAAS Newen<\/p><\/div>\n

Jennifer Aguilera Silva (a.k.a. Jaas Newen) <\/span><\/strong>was brought up (in a commune south of Santiago, Chile) outside her Mapuche heritage, then widely considered in large cities as a setback and source of shame. Despite this, she combined her interest in her native heritage and hip-hop to produce the song Newen<\/em> (among others). Jennifer Aguilera (a.k.a. Jaas Newen) taught herself Mapuzung\u00fan (the Mapuche language) in part by listening to local bilingual radio programs. She also collaborated closely with Mapuche community leaders to ultimately produce the music video for Newen<\/em>,<\/a> with its themes of \u201cinvocation, life-force, origin, oppression, struggle, and resistance, (published on her Youtube channel<\/a>). Newen<\/em> was presented<\/a> by the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) for screening at the 2006 Smithsonian Institution\u2019s Native American Film + Video Festival (NAFVF), where it was subtitled for Anglophone audiences, international film festivals, programmers, and scholars alike. Newen has screened in Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Spain, and Chile (though only after screening in New York). (Gleaned from Newen\/Calling on the Power of the Land, <\/em>C\u00f3rdova, Forthcoming, Vanderbilt University Press)<\/span><\/p>\n

Balam Ajpu<\/p><\/div>\n

Balam Ajpu<\/span> also often collaborates in public art pieces such as murals and performances in public urban spaces. Here is an interview<\/a> including a “rapid-fire education on their rich and ancient philosophy.”<\/p>\n
