As Heard on Morning Line: Alaska Native Heritage Center Circumpolar World Music Celebration 2018

Koahnic Broadcast Corporation

Our Guest this Morning on Our Community is Alaska Native Heritage Center Public Relations & Marketing Manager Kelsey Wallace - and she was at KNBA to let us know about the Circumpolar World Music Celebration this coming Saturday at the Alaska Native Heritage Center. 

Wallace says this is the 15th year ANHC is hosting this celebration, and this year there are a few things different, in response to what community members say they want: the artists featured reflect an urban style, and the time of the event is later in the day. 

Wallace, who also coordinates the Camai Festival in Bethel, says the musicians featured are real crowd pleasers, including Pamyua, an Inuit funk band familiar to most Alaskans, and Frank Waln, a Lakota rapper who brought hoop dancers to Camai Festival in 2014.
