\\n"Indigenous people is who I pray for / The past can be painful so we face forward"
\\nA veteran Song of the Day featured artist,\\xa0American-Peruvian Indigenous songwriter\\xa0Bobby Sanchez kicked off 2023 with their sixth EP, titled\\xa0Melancholy Tgirl.\\xa0The three-song release continues\\xa0Sanchez\'s mission of using art to speak out for Indigenous rights, as well as for LGBTQ+ rights, environmental preservation, immigration, and more.\\xa0
\\nSanchez\'s Indigenous blood originates from Ayacucho, Peru; she was born and raised on Lenape and Siwanoy land. Sanchez found her voice through poetry at seven; by age 15, she was attending poetry slams and open mics, which soon evolved into hip-hop compositions. Today\'s Song of the Day features fierce verses against a delicate looped piano piece, resulting in an empowering, thoughtful groove.\\xa0
