ANCIENT HOMELANDS is a program of all native music of North, Central & South America. Martin's audience love him and he will gently motivate everyone to sing "easy-to-sing-songs" in Native American languages as well as share his huge collection of exotic native percussions. So, come sing/chant along and play along too! Martin's programs are upbeat and lively, like he is. Also it's a nuero science fact that playing and singing with someone else, as opposed to watching and listening is the best medicine for your brain and well being. ALL ages welcome! Martin always gives very well researched info about culture, history and more! Educational and somehow fun at the same time!
