The story
D’DAT allows improvised sounds of the Diné circle to resurface with jazz, funk and hip-hop. DDAT brings all venues back to the social tornado of Diné Spinning songs.
Spinning Songs were composed to teach all people stories and traditions of the past, present and future. DDAT researched Diné melodies of the past for inspiration, perform our stories for today and preserve cultural music for the future. Our spinning songs consist of Navajo improvised melodies from trumpeter, Delbert Anderson, funk and groove rhythms from drummer, Khalill Brown, fusion keyboardist, Robert Muller and the exploration of jams from bassist, Mike McCluhan. DDAT composes a melodic story of Northwest New Mexico and our surrounding Indigenous tribes. Hózhó (Beauty & Balance) formed D'DAT by combining different personal identities and cultural backgrounds. K’é (Family Values) keeps DDAT together as one unit practicing the values of love, compassion, kindness, friendliness, generosity and peacefulness.
