Make America Grateful Again (Global Circle Chant Mix)

The Song:

What became the Global Circle Chant Mix started when each musician grabbed an instrument from their homeland and gathered in a circle. One rhythm led to another, voices layered themselves naturally, and a global chant emerged. No leader, no script—just a shared pulse across continents.

This mix embodies a kind of Pentecost energy: many languages, one spirit. Gratitude becomes a dialect the whole world can speak.

“No one led this song, and no one followed. That’s why it works.” — Kwabena (Ghanaian percussionist)

The Album:

In fall 2025, musicians from around the world met in a small American town to make music shaped by gratitude, unity, and hope. Calling themselves Artists of the Pantheon, their debut EP, Make America Grateful Again, was released by Tongue Screw Records this Thanksgiving.

A global sound for a healing moment.

On streaming platforms worldwide.

Songs Our Daddy Taught Us (1958) is the second studio album by American singing duo the Everly Brothers. The album is based on a selection of songs that the brothers learned as boys from their father, Ike Everly.

Music journalist Richie Unterberger notes that the album of traditional music, released at the peak of the duo's commercial success as a rock and roll act, was unexpected and "ahead of its time". The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, which awarded the album 4 out of 5 stars, noted that not even Elvis Presley "had the nerve to do an album as rootsy" as this one. - Wikipedia
