World Fest! Pamyua- Yup’ik, Alaska in Concert
Pamyua is Alaska’s most famous Inuit band. Founded in 1995 by brothers Phillip and Stephen Blanchett, the group includes Ossie Kairaiuak and frequent guest member Karina Moeller. Their performances honor and share indigenous Inuit cultural traditions through ceremony and songs passed down through generations. Their unique performances blend traditional Inuit drum/dance melodies with contemporary R&B and soul music, often referred to as “tribal funk” or “Inuit soul.”
This is a FREE, all-ages, public concert. All are welcome to attend! The concert will take place in the Central Campus theatre. No advanced registration required.
