Now on to today's episode with R.E.L.

Thank you, Patricia, and welcome everyone. Today, my guest is Nako Bear.

Naco is a wildly popular musician and activist, whose indigenous ancestors come from Puerto Rican,

Filipino, Mohawk, and Apache roots.

His lyrics sing of hard truths and an optimism for a better world.

I had the pleasure of speaking and singing with him last week, just three days after his new album,

Take Your Power Back, released.

We talked about the truth of his life and perspective on the world as we played his songs

and talked through the stories behind them.

Come hear his voice.

Hello, thank you.

It's a total honor and pleasure to have you here with us.

So what was it like having just dropped a new album?
