Songs of Survivance: Notes in Olas Ki
You’re invited to a special performance by Grammy-nominated rapper, DJ, and author Mega Ran inside the Labriola National American Indian Data Center at Hayden Library! This concert kicks off the Labriola Center's annual concert inspired by NPR’s "Tiny Desk" series, called "Songs of Survivance: Notes in Olas Ki."
The title of this series originates from Dr. Gerald Vizenor's book, "Survivance," which is a concept combining survival and resistance, defining active presence over mere victimhood, particularly in Indigenous contexts. "Olas Ki" originates from the O'odham language and acknowledges the land where the ASU Library is located.
Mega Ran's album “Buddy’s Magic Tree House” was nominated for Best Children’s Album at the recent 68th annual Grammy Awards.
