Ulali

Ulali Project features Pura Fé (Tuscarora), Layla Locklear (Tuscarora), and Charly Lowry (Tuscarora.) Founded fifteen years ago with original members Pura Fé, Jennifer Kreisberg, and Soni Moreno; Ulali Project is the first Indigenous women’s group to create their own sound from their strong traditional roots and personal contemporary styles. They have created a new genre of Indigenous music and inspired the creation of other Indigenous women’s groups. Known for their unusual harmonies and wide vocal and musical range, Ulali Project’s sound encompasses an array of Indigenous music including southeast choral singing (pre-blues and gospel) and pre-Colombian (before the borders) music. With their beautiful yearning and powerful voices, they drum, rattle and stomp. Breaking the stereotypes of Indigenous women, Ulali Project is political, romantic, and humorous. Their live performances, which uniquely address Indigenous struggles and accomplishments, are energetic, and informative.
