New NatGeo docuseries AmericaTheBeautiful, now streaming on disneyplus, explores the continent's natural diversity. We spoke with Native musicians Dylan Jennings & Joe Rainey as well as Bon Iver's Sean Carey about their musical collaboration for it:
America the Beautiful, now streaming on Disney+, has arrived just in time for July 4 celebrations. Or, alternately, as a reminder of the precious position of the nation and the world at large is humanity does not do its utmost to protect the creatures and environments around the globe.
Then we brought on Dylan [Jennings] and Joe Rainey further along in the process as the final lift to the end, and they brought so much instantly. What they do is so powerful and beautiful; truly inspiring and amazing to watch. Because I worked for a while on this, I would call, simple song. And then these guys, in the matter of seconds or minutes, just bring it to this next level that I couldn't even really imagine.
Dylan Jennings: First, I have to back up and say that in many of our indigenous communities, music is such an important way of expressing and an important way of our life way in general. In the communities that I come from, we have songs for nearly everything in life. When newborn babies are born, we have songs to sing to them; we've got songs for courting and for relationships, sounds for honoring individuals, social songs, songs for sending people off - all these different things.
For me, it was really helpful to hear some instrumentation, and to just sit there. I literally just sat there outside in a peaceful place in our yard, and just visualized what I was seeing as this music is starting to climax and get to this point. There's a part in the song where it feels like you're just taking off on a cliff and spreading your wings, and just looking down on everything that's so beautiful and important to us.
I think America the Beautiful is only going to highlight a lot of what is out there, and a lot of what we see. We want to take care of this place as long as we can, and being stewards of it is only the beginning. Joe Rainey: I think I've been more comfortable with doing things on my own right now. But anytime that we are in person in the studio, or being able to use a better microphone or recording a better space, I think that's a little bit easier for me to work in that environment.
