Coconino Center for the Arts

With special guest Barbara K of Timbuk3. Pre-show presentation by Berta Benally (6:30 PM). Winter Clothing Drive.

Multi-award-winning independent artists and cultural ambassadors Jeneda and Clayson Benally deliver a powerful, genre-defying sound rooted in their Navajo heritage. With just bass, drums, and vocals, this sibling duo blends traditional Navajo music, folk, world, and post-punk energy to create a unique musical experience that inspires audiences worldwide. Sihasin (pronounced See-ha-sin), meaning hope in Navajo, was formed following their internationally acclaimed band Blackfire. Raised amid forced relocation, sacred site desecration, and human rights struggles on the Navajo Nation, Jeneda and Clayson channel these experiences into music that empowers, heals, and advocates for justice.Sihasin’s music embodies hope, resilience, and a strong cultural foundation. In Diné (Navajo) tradition, music is a tool for healing and unity; Sihasin continues this tradition by inspiring listeners to rise up, speak out, and create positive change.“Every second they were on stage, the stage was on fire.” -The Huffington Post PRIOR TO THE SHOW 6:30 PM A Conversation with Berta Benally Berta Benally will share her perspective and experience on what she’s witnessed since the late 1960’s on the Navajo reservation and surrounding areas, and the effects it has had on the environment and the people.
