Artelia Green's magnetic pull begins with its frontrunner, Tiffani Marie. As a recovering academic, Tiffani heals through music yet remains driven by her in-depth research on the harmful effects of toxic stress on Black communities and the redemptive power of ancestral love. As Tiffani Marie and the crew craft each song, they draw upon the ethos of language revitalization, cultural memory, and root work to offer listeners more than just a melody—to provide an apothecary, a network of healing modalities that nourishes the soul and promotes healing. Birthed from a fusion of Frisco swagger, Arkansas's ancestral roots, and the enduring spirit of Yoruba culture, Artelia Green stands as a nexus toward critical thought and transformative action. The group stitches together the soulful strains of funk, soul, gospel and djembe, creating an immersive soundscape that transports listeners to another time and space. More than a musical experience, it's an invitation—a call to acknowledge the raw reality of Black suffering and, more importantly, its transcendence. With a repertoire that can light up a stage for anywhere from 30 minutes to an electrifying 2 hours, Artelia Green channels inspirations from legends like Parliament Funkadelic, Lauryn Hill, The Roots, and more. They narrate a timeless tale of love, healing, and transcendence. Artelia Green's latest album, "In No Particular Order," is a masterpiece that exemplifies their essence. The titular track "INPO" hails the legacy of hip-hop, while songs like "Harriet's Brim" explore the depths of oft overlooked history, and “Ghetto Children Funk" pays homage to the indomitable spirit of youth from the hood. With tracks like "Sugarman," they offer a discerning look at the music industry, and with songs like "Intuition" and "Yarrow Fades," they traverse the intricate landscapes of love, loss, and healing. A standout piece, "Cashmere," a tribute to Tiffani Marie’s daughter, encapsulates the whirlwind of emotions surrounding the genesis of new life. She is a university professor, mother, and also filmmaker as she produced "The Children Could Fly": A documentary I produced featuring music from Artelia Green & the Bandanas. It offers an in-depth look into my research and its impact on youth and communities.
