Mni Sota Native Music Series
Thursday, July 15, 2021 / Premiere at 7:30 pm CDT / ONLINE
The Wake Singers
Four cousins - Doug, Mike, Marty, and Reed Two Bulls - came together to form The Wake Singers. The group came to be when Doug, Mike, and Marty were attending The Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with Reed joining later. The cousins are from Red Shirt Table in Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota.
Mike Two Bulls is a multimedia artist who makes music with The Wake Singers amongst other visual mediums. Mike has shared that his work focuses on concepts including place, history, and identity. As a visual artist Mike aims to capture his lived experiences, and those of his ancestors, too. He prioritizes the vantage point of Native American people, and not that of the tourists who witness them.
