Indigifolk Music Festival\u00a0 –\u00a0 Victor Steinbrueck Park, Seattle\u00a0 –\u00a0 August 29, 2025<\/p>\n
This event, MC-ed by local radio personality DJ Big Rez, was a showcase for Indigenous performers.\u00a0 A number had travelled many hours to get here, so I was generous in the tip jars, hopefully to at least pay for gas money.\u00a0 Both Luesofire and Tonasket played in modernized genre that nonetheless seemed infused with deep awareness of Native tradition, as well as the persistent existential challenges.\u00a0 Ali came prepared with an arsenal of flutes which he played solo, seemingly with a different one for each musical piece, broadcasting serenity and reflection.<\/p>\n
