BLACKFIRE is a Native American (Diné) traditionally influenced, high-energy, politically driven group comprised of two brothers and their sister. Born into the heart of a political land dispute area on Black Mesa in the Navajo Nation, this Family's powerful music reflects the Hopes, Freedoms, and Barriers of today's world.
BLACKFIRE's style comprises traditional Native American, Punk, Ska and Alternative with strong sociopolitical messages about government oppression, relocation of indigenous people, eco-cide, genocide, domestic violence and human rights.
BLACKFIRE strongly promotes the respect of all cultures. They do many workshops, lectures and school residencies.
BLACKFIRE tours national and internationally, where they play only at all ages venues, whether concerts, festivals or clubs.
BLACKFIRE's independent releases on Tacoho Records are available nation-wide on Canyon Records.
BLACKFIRE sometimes combines performances with their Native American dance troupe, the Jones Benally Family.
