On
Sunday, November 20th at
the Student Union Building of the University of New Mexico Campus,
the university Native American student group THE KIVA CLUB presented
the WATER IS LIFE BENEFIT CONCERT FOR THE STANDING ROCK LAKOTA TRIBE
in an effort to raise money for the men and women protesting the
DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE. The six hour show featured talent that has
been featured here on rock is red before such as FRANK WALN,
INNASTATE and RADMILLA CODY but also some new voices with some
surprising messages and sounds. We were in attendance and we managed
to score some interviews with the likes of FRANK WALN, the punk band
WEEDRAT and Navajo hip hop artist DEF-I. You'll be hearing all of
those interviews in this latest edition of ROCK IS RED. The band
INNASTATE got the crowned going with
their infectious live set but before they did they presented their
brand new music video for the song WATER IS LIFE featuring EMMET
SHKEME GARCIA of NATIVE ROOTS, rapper DEF-I and the spoken words and
saxophone of JOY HARJO.
