Coming Soon: TATANKA’s “MAAA” – Make America Americana Again
“MAAA” – Make America Americana Again is a musical project that celebrates the power of music to bring people together and inspire American strengths of positive change, as opposed to the weaknesses of fear, hate and division. This project features sixteen original songs, each with its own unique message, style, and Americana subgenre/fusion. From folk-rock to country-soul, and from outlaw country to Tex-Mex, this project takes you on a musical journey across the grand Americana musical landscape.
The premise of this project is simple yet powerful: music has the ability to unite us, to inspire us, and to challenge our assumptions. Through these songs, we aim to promote unity, social justice, and critical thinking, while also celebrating the diversity and complexity of the human experience.
Each song in this project has been carefully crafted to tell a story, convey a message, or evoke a particular emotion. From the rousing anthem “Workers United, Hearts Ignited” to the heartfelt plea for kindness in “Compassion’s Call, Kindness Echoes,” these songs are designed to resonate with listeners from all walks of life, aka Radical Inclusion in TATANKA’s efforts.
Throughout the project, you’ll find the lyrics, descriptions, and Americana subgenres for each song, as well as additional context and insights into the creative process in collaboration with AI tools. We hope you’ll join us on this musical journey and let the songs inspire you to think critically, feel deeply, and act boldly, and value the sometimes hidden gems among us.
The Big Lie: January 6 Funk
In a world where truth is constantly under attack, it’s time to get funky with the facts. ‘The Big Lie: January 6 Funk’ is a satirical song that tackles the conspiracy theories surrounding the January 6 insurrection. With its infectious groove and biting lyrics, this funky political satire calls out the lies and shines a light on the truth.
In today’s polarized landscape, it’s more important than ever to speak truth to power and confront the misinformation that’s dividing us. This song is a rallying cry for anyone who’s tired of the noise and wants to dance to the beat of reality. So, let’s get funky and stand up for the truth!
Verses:
- They say it was a tourist trip, a friendly little stroll
But we saw the violence, the insurrection’s goal
They claimed it was a false flag, a deep state setup game
But the truth is clear, and the evidence is not tamed- They tried to rewrite history, with a twisted little spin
But we remember the chaos, the harm, and the sin
They said it was a peaceful protest, a patriotic display
But the footage shows the truth, in a most unpleasant way- They’re drinking Kool-Aid, in a world of denial
Where facts are just opinions, and truth is just a trial
They’re living in a bubble, a echo chamber of deceit
But we’ll burst their fantasy, with a healthy dose of truth serum, neat- So let’s dance to the truth, with a funky little beat
Exposing the lies, and the deceitful repeat
We’ll shine a light on the facts, like a disco ball of truth
And the Big Lie Funk, will be the last dance of youthChorus:
The Big Lie Funk, it’s a groovy little dance
Where truth is twisted, and facts are just a prance
We’ll call out the lies, with a funky little shout
And the Big Lie Funk, will be the last dance, without a doubtBridge:
Truth is truth, and lies are lies
We’ll not be fooled, by the Big Lie guise
We’ll stand for facts, and the truth will prevail
And the Big Lie Funk, will eventually fail
