Rising Appalachia

HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF

 

Dearest Rising appalachia Community..

We are reaching out to you in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which has left a devastating impact on our region. Many of our neighbors, friends, and families across Western North Carolina have lost their homes, businesses, and, tragically, even loved ones. The catastrophic damage has deeply affected countless small towns, local businesses, and individuals in dire need of support.

There are numerous organizations and agencies currently working on the ground to provide search and rescue operations, rebuilding efforts, and crucial resources. As we face the long road to recovery, we are using our platform to share direct links to GoFundMe campaigns and other resources for those in need. These funds go directly to individuals and businesses, allowing us to help rebuild our community from the ground up.

Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference as we stand by our community and help them rebuild from this disaster.

Thank you for showing up for our community. Together, we will rebuild.

With gratitude and solidarity,
Leah, Chloe, David, Duncan, Biko

‘Agua de la madre’

NeWEST single out

Now!

"Agua De La Madre" is a unique blend of North and South American traditions that bring together both the folkloric Latin and Appalachian musical sounds, offering a fresh perspective on cultural conversations, bolero traditions, and musical storytelling. An ode to the mother, to the waters, and the great power behind this elemental earth. As lovers of the rich exchange of music and song, years of cross-cultural exchange and language studies brought this song to life through the troubadour-style travel and music studies. It is sung as an elemental ballad, meant to harken the feminine powers of the natural world; the ocean, the seas, the skies, and the wild grounds beneath our feet. This lyrical journey serves as a testament to Rising Appalachia's deep connection to the international sinew of song, here blending the rich and vibrant textures of the waters of the feminine with their deep rooted Appalachian influences.
