Charly Lowry performs “Brown Skin” at Music at the Mansion

Towards the beginning of Charly Lowry’s Music at the Mansion performance, her band stepped back and Charly took center stage, holding only a hand drum. She took the opportunity to speak about how her identity as a woman intersects with her work as a Native American musician. She spoke about her relationship with fellow Native American singer-songwriter Pura Fé, the significance of the hand drum to her culture, and the UNC-Chapel Hill origins of her anthem for women, “Brown Skin."

The performance is of course wonderful. I would also like to compliment the production values; sound, lighting, camera angles, editing... Good work all 'round.

People have asked me where I'm from all my life because of my accent. I decided a long time ago that I was proud of my accent and that I had no intention of ever changing it. It represents my family and my culture.

Love the change in style at 5:46. And she makes both work.

The art you stumble upon on KZbin! Wow. Applause for Charly Lowry! I wasn't expecting the rap portion of this song--I'll have to play it over and over to hear the message.

I will always remember the pure kind heart of Charley and Aaron; people that should be emulated. Great performance.

I volunteered and at one point was paid by Native American rights fund, went to one of their meetings in the 90s back when Larry Aschenbrenner Esquire was alive. So glad Heather Kendall Miller is fighting for Alaska! Love this video in all its message! I fight for the most marginalized Amongst us! With love Ray.
