Does “knocking on wood” still work if you’re not actually knocking on wood or real wood?

Yes, it works regardless of what you knock on.

No, you have to knock on real or fake wood.

No, you have to knock on real wood.

Knuance (knock nuance)

Whether you believe this works or not doesn’t matter here; this is about the ritual itself.

bro i LOVE indigenous fusion music i love it when indigenous people take traditional practices and language and apply them in new cool ways i love the slow decay and decolonisation of the modern music industry

I WILL !!! I WILL DO THAT

some of my favourite indigenous artists, in no particular order:

Inuit artists:

• the jerry cans (esp their album Inuusiq)
• beatrice deer
• twin flames

Māori artists:

• jordyn with a why

Indigenous australian artists:

• tilly tjala thomas (i particularly love ngai yurlku nhiina)
• kardajala kirridarra (srlsly check out ngajabu (Grandmother’s Song))
• i’ve also heard good things abt Baker Boy, but i haven’t checked out his stuff yet

Another one for Inuit artists is Piqsiq! Two sisters who’ve been doing traditional throat singing since they were kids. They make some really gorgeous, eerie, atmospheric stuff. Highly recommend watching this video of them performing live a cappella using a looping machine, because they might be the coolest people on the planet actually

(Jo March nearly in tears voice) women,,,,

For anyone into North Asian and Central Asian folk music, there’s this incredible Siberian folk-pop band called Otyken! The group is mostly women and they’re from multiple indigenous groups in Siberia, with songs being sung in their range of different languages. They’re so much fun and their music videos are amazing!

i’ll go ahead and recommend The Halluci Nation (formerly known as A Tribe Called Red), an EDM group from First Nations Ontario that do really cool fusions of First Nations music with dubstep, moombahton, and hip hop.

I really really really appreciate people who share videos on posts like these, because almost without a doubt every time I love the music but I’ve never got the spoons to click on links and look through a bunch of music or worse google the artist I always end up too overwhelmed to start and I hate that

Haven’t seen Belle Sisoski here yet so here we go: she’s the current Artist of Year for BURO impact Awards. She’s from Malaysia and knows how to play an insane amount of ethnic instruments and mixes them with her own voice. She does covers and her own songs, mixes ethnic instruments with Techno and shows the process. And she’s also a live DJ at 19!

And one of her own:

Oh and of course there’s also the HU and Bloodywood for people who like more rock and metal mixed in:

1876 is a Pow Wow punk rock band from Portland, Oregon

Person in the grocery store had amazon rainforest sounds blasting on their phone as they shopped and I think that’s a beautiful use of free will

“people who don’t wear headphones in public are a nuisance” except this one. I respect their indomitable human spirit
