Indigenous Soul Music: Mahoganee & Mr Bounce Back Sound Griots of the Lowcountry

For the February 2026 feature on The African American Folklorist (AAF), we’re in conversation with Mahoganee—the Gullah/Geechee Lowcountry “Sea Island Songbird”—and her husband/producer André “Mr. Bounce Back” Amigér. Together, they create what they call Indigenous Soul Music: a trans-Atlantic, heritage-rooted sound that blends jazz (Black classical), funk, blues, hip-hop, and West African/Caribbean influence into living storytelling.In this episode, Mahoganee and Mr. Bounce Back speak on what it means to be Sound Griots and Sound Healers—using creativity and imagination as tools of liberation, wellness, and cultural preservation. We discuss Gullah/Geechee cultural memory, voice as archive, the ethics of carrying tradition forward, and how their work connects art to land and water stewardship. They also share how their nonprofit Responsible ARTistry, Inc. mentors youth through arts education, leadership, self-awareness, and community responsibility.🎙️ Episode Title: Indigenous Soul Music: Mahoganee & Mr. Bounce Back, Sound Griots of the Lowcountry📌 Topics include: Gullah/Geechee heritage • sound healing • roots music • arts education • stewardship • Afro-futurism, “portals,” and time travel • cultural preservation through performanceIf this conversation moves you, please like, subscribe, and share—and drop a comment: What does “heritage as responsibility” mean to you?Follow / Learn MoreMahogonee: The Mahoganee Xperience https://themahoganeexperience.com/homeResponsible ARTistry, Inc.: Arts education + mentorship initiativeshttps://www.responsibleartistry.org/Become a Member of the African American Folklorist Ecosystemhttps://theafricanamericanfolklorist....#AfricanAmericanFolklorist #AAF #GullahGeechee #Lowcountry #IndigenousSoulMusic #RootsMusic #SoundHealing #CulturalPreservation #FolkMusic #BlackFolklife #ArtsEducation #EnvironmentalJustice #LandStewardship #Afrofuturism
