Contemporary Indigenous alternative fusion woven together with elements of hip/trip hop, rock/folk,

The Melawmen Collective’s sound reflects a contemporary Indigenous fusion woven together with elements of hip hop, rock/folk, righteous rhymes and rich harmonies, carried through with experience, manifestation, and visions of intergenerational stories of pain and healing. The Melawmen Collective brings a uniqueness to their sound like no other, drawing in a wide variety of listeners through sharing their own journeys of life through their musical evolution together. Members of the band include mother and son who are from the  Toquaht community (near Ucluelet) of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Nation, and other indigenous nations of BC, and are   especially honored to bring their musical medicine (Melawmen means medicine in the Secwepemc Language,   where they and other members are also from) for healing of all peoples to come together in the spirit of unity, oneness and LOVE.
