  • TATANKA is a musical initiative with pragmatic approaches to global goals.
  • TATANKA will be a reality program; rehearsals, gigs, recording sessions, and day-to-day TATANKA will be streamed LIVE 24/7.
  • All international members of the “Orchestra Americana” will co-habitate. Harmony is alive and well, and it will be televised.
  • TATANKA will be more than a band; it will be a HERD integrating audience participation. Inclusivity is alive and well, and it will be televised.
  • TATANKA will beta test and train AI humanoids, aka robots, and welcome them as band and family members. Progress is alive and well, and it will be televised.
  • All decisions will be made by a Matriarchal council. Equity is alive and well, and it will be televised.
  • TATANKA will be multilingual and multinational, with potential members intentionally inclusive of nations currently in conflict, to model that civility is a matter of will, harmoniously so with music as one of numerous shared values and strengths, as opposed to contrasts. Diversity is alive and well, and it will be televised.

TATANKA is a musical initiative that uses its music to promote several social goals, including diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as sustainable development. The initiative features an international orchestra and plans to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into its musical endeavors. TATANKA also produces AI-generated music and plans to stream its rehearsals, concerts, recording sessions, and all things TATANKA live 24/7. The initiative is led by a Matriarchal council aligned to Indigenous Wisdom. Its members are chosen from all ages, genders, sexualities, races, ethnicities, religions, abilities, and countries, deliberately including those that are currently engaged in conflict. The intent is using music to focus on shared values in order to promote civility and harmony.
