Malcom was influenced by a family friend, Jimmy Little Coyote, who explained
to him, the protocol and ways of the Powwow world. Malcom brought back
to Jemez the knowledge given to him and together with his brother David
Jr., gathered together a group of cousins and formed the group Black
Eagle.

Indigenous Rocks
Incendiary guitar, soulful vocals, house-shaking
rhythms - this is the real deal, this is the band Indigenous. Their
stylistic roots reach back to America's earliest form, the blues; they
can trace their personal roots back even further. A family of musicians
- two brothers, sister and cousin - they have played together as long
as they can remember. Members of the Nakota Nation, Mato Nanji, Pte,
Horse and Wanbdi are all still in their early twenties - but they play
with the skill and tested fire of significantly older souls

Robert Mirabal Official
Site
Robert Mirabal is one of the leaders of the
Native American musical renaissance. Mirabal's style is less commercial
than many of his contemporaries, building his melodies on the rituals
that have surrounded him all of his life at Taos Pueblo in New Mexico,
where he was born and still resides. "My culture doesn't allow
me to record anything traditional," Mirabal said. "But my
music is informed by the ceremonial music that I've heard all of my
life. What I create comes out of my body and soul, in a desire to take
care of the spirits of the earth."
