Territorial’s TLAXIHUIQUI (pronounced Tla-She-Wiki) was recorded with seven incarcerated musicians at Territorial Correctional Facility in Cañon City, Colorado. A prog-Americana album interweaving Indigenous Nahuatl chant, blues, and hip hop, TLAXIHUIQUI is a powerful musical melding of diverse life experiences. Including several lifers, Native American and Black artists, a queer Jewish man, and a white musician convicted for five counts of murder, these artists share their path from remorse to redemption. Through this musical journey, we discover there is much more than meets the eye behind a criminal conviction and a prison ID number. The word tlaxihuiqui translates to “the calling of the spirits” in the Uto-Aztecan language of Nahuatl. Traditional chants of this ancient language anchor the album and stand as a rousing cry for our shared humanity. These history-making recordings took place over four intense days in April 2018, and DJC founder and album producer Fury Young remained in close contact with these musicians for the next three years to make this album a reality. Combining strong and striking storytelling with brilliant musicianship and raw talent, this motley crew of artists came together to create this profound, unprecedented sonic experience.
