Product Overview
Nahko & Medicine For The People - Take Your Power Back (CD) Nahko And Medicine For The People return with their fourth studio album , the uplifting and vulnerable, ÜTake Your Power Back,â. Recorded in Los Angeles and Executive Produced by cut&dry and Dan Fratoni, ÜTake Your Power Backâ grapples with grief, trauma, reconciliation, self-love and acceptance, fusing conscious folk-rock with alternative R&B production to create a genre bending body of sound. Born Joel Miguel Nahkohe-ese Parayno of Puerto Rican, Filipino, and Apache origins, Nahko was adopted at birth into a conservative Christian family. At the age of 17, he left his adopted family home in Portland, Oregon behind, headed first to Alaska and then to Hawaii, embarking on a voyage of self-discovery and marking the beginning of a deconstruction process, a reclaiming of identity, and the rebirth of Nahko and his unique heritage. Nahko's breakthrough sophomore album ÜDark As Nightâ landed in the Top Ten on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. Over the course of two more albums, Nahko solidified his reputation along the way as an outspoken activist and advocate for both social and environmental justice. Today, Nahko And Medicine For The People have built a fervent fan community (self-dubbed The Medicine Tribe) and lend support to charities close that resonate with the groupâs core values, including Amazon Watch, Indigenous Regeneration, and Honor the Earth. Nahko And Medicine For The People have sold out major venues including Red Rocks Amphitheater and performed at festivals like Glastonbury, Bonnaroo and more. TRACKLISTING 1.
