About This Event

"Bringing Inuit music to the world, PAMYUA's vocalists bring a blizzard of interlocking harmonies." ~ Native People Magazine

Pamyua was formed by brothers Phillip and Stephen Blanchett. The brothers stumbled upon a musical concept to blend Inuit drum/dance melodies with R&B vocal styling and arrangements. Described as "Inuit Soul Music," Pamyua has discovered their own genre. Their performances honor and share indigenous traditions through ceremony, songs, and dance with contemporary vocalization and instrumentation and have been rewarded by Alaska Magazine as, "one of the 10 Greatest Alaska Artists of the Millennium."
