About Lily-Rakia Chandler
With ancestors from almost every continent, Lily-“Rakia” Chandler's life’s work has been navigating the many nuanced ways oppression affects people and the Earth. Her music is a reflection of that love and liberation in practice. Receiving inspiration from her many ancestors and growing up in the 80s and nineties Rakia’s music is a unique mix of hip hop, Reggae, and sacred chant. With drumming centered around a heartbeat and vocals ranging from thoughtful 90s style hip hop flow to, haunting Hebrew melodies, to traditional Mohawk chant.
