Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Indigenous in Music Radio Show
Every week Larry brings you live interviews and a mix of new music from our Indigenous musicians from around the Western Hemisphere, a variety of rock, pop, country, flute, salsa, classical, house and electronica.
Indigenous in Music is recorded weekly at the Two Buffalo Studio's in Sarasota, Florida and distributed to our flagship station, Native Voice One, the Native America Indian Radio Network and PRX the Public Radio Exchange and Pacifica Audio Port.
A big Pini-Gigi (Thank you) to “SAY Magazine” a international Indigenous magazine for giving Indigenous in Music a mention and for featuring all of our musical guest’s.
The Indigenous in Music Radio Show was developed to support indigenous musicians. After we did our research, we discovered that our indigenous musicians were not getting the exposure needed to get into the mainstream music scene. Host Larry Knudsen, from the Ho–Chunk Nation started the Indigenous in Music Radio Show.
OUR GOAL
To develop and market our show to the radio stations across the states and Canada. We will provide music, and interviews to the general public. We will promote our indigenous musicians and entertainers. Both as host and producer, Larry values the diversity of cultural expression and traditions, fosters the preservation and advancement of diverse musical genres, creates a sense of welcoming and belonging, enhances the enjoyment of life, and celebrates community with great programming.
MISSION
The Indigenous in Music Radio Show mission is to: develop, organize, administer and promote a comprehensive, coordinated music program while providing music and entertainment for the general public to enjoy.
