Ready for the return of Sihasin LIVE at the Paradise Theatre of Paonia on August 15th?
For 3 decades, brother and sister Jeneda and Clayson Benally have been recording and touring bringing their empowering organic conscious raising charged music to communities throughout Europe and North America.
Multi-award winning musicians Jeneda and Clayson Benally from the (Dine) Navajo Nation in
Northern Arizona create an explosive duo of just bass, drums and vocals with a traditional Navajo
backbone bridging folk, rock, world, pop and a little punk.
As brother and sister they grew up protesting the environmental degradation and inhumane acts of cultural genocide against their traditional way of life. Sihasins music reflects hope for equality, healthy and respectful communities and social and environmental justice.
Sihasin is a rare band that does more than just perform. They leave their audiences with an
exhilarating feeling of hope and respect and cultural appreciation. The duo also gives presentations and workshops on Native American culture and history. Workshops combine the creative process of solution -finding with music and are tailored for every age group especially in schools but not limited
to libraries, conferences, concerts and festivals.
Sihasin has been featured in The London Sunday Times, NPR's All Things Considered, Arizona Highways, The Huffington Post, Ryot Magazine, Radio France's RFI, Arte TV, PBS, ABC and many many more.
Sihasin has recently performed at the Kennedy Center, Grassroots Festival, Festival Alfonso Ortiz Tirado in Mexico, Tanz n Fest in Germany, The Museum of Native American History, Globalquerque, SXSW, World Fest, The Woody Guthrie Center and many more. They have had a national television commercial with Tony Bennett for Hyundai cars, they have done over 30 tours in Europe and many more across the U.S. Mexico and Canada. They are looking forward to continue to touring the world bringing their message of Hope, respect and understanding.
