About

Founded by brothers Phillip and Stephen Blanchett, the members of Pamyua (pronounced bum-yo-ah) are global purveyors of Inuit soul music. They showcase drumsongs from the Indigenous cultures of Greenland and Alaska, weaving traditional melodies with contemporary vocalization, funk, R & B, and more. Praised by Native People magazine for their “blizzard of interlocking harmonies," each performance is a testament to the vibrancy, ingenuity, and enduring power of Yup'ik-Inuit culture.
