Te Martin is a song-keeper
and ritual artist.
They were born on
Ramaytush Ohlone land
in San Francisco
and have been shaped by
the Ocean, Redwoods, circus arts,
and theater games.
They facilitate oral tradition
singing classes
and workshops that focus on song
as a tool for collective liberation,
somatic
regulation,
and ancestral connection.
Te served as co-organizer of
Thrive Street Choir in the
San Francisco Bay area
for six years, is a student of Gaelic song,
and released their first professional music
video and EP of original songs,
"Water & Bones", in 2021.
Alexandra “ahlay” Blakely is an Ashkenazi,
Scandinavian
singer-songwriter,
grief tender, community organizer,
and ceramicist walking the path of
ancestral healing and the reclaiming
of lost cultural memories.
Her community singing album,
Spells from the Unknown
encapsulates songs for the community
to transform, ask questions,
and seek to lead lives that might make
us ancestors worth honoring.
Her upcoming
2024
community singing album,
WAILS: Songs for Grief
was
recorded in July 2023
with a choir of 200 voices.
The album is completely dedicated to grief,
