From ceremony to cypher, TONATIUH channels ancestral power, bilingual poetry and environmental resistance into a bold new era of Indigenous hip-hop

Xiuhtezcatl Unveils New Album “TONATIUH”

Artist, activist, and cultural storyteller Xiuhtezcatl releases his powerful new album “TONATIUH,” a genre-blending project rooted in Indigenous resistance, bilingual lyricism and ancestral pride.

Described by Xiuhtezcatl as “from my heart, through my homelands, to the world,” TONATIUH marks a major new chapter in the artist’s evolution, melding hip-hop, traditional sounds, and poetic reflection into a body of work that feels both ancient and urgently now.

The album’s title, TONATIUH, the Nahuatl word for “sun”, reflects themes of cultural rebirth, environmental justice, and collective resilience. Previously released singles like “HOME” and “SÍGUEME” appear on the album, offering a taste of Xiuhtezcatl’s signature blend of English and Spanish storytelling with sharp political edge and spiritual depth.

TONATIUH is available now on all major streaming platforms. Celebrate the release by listening today, and by sharing the stories carried within.
