Archive material and source history
Xiuhtezcatl Martinez formed the band Xiuhtezcatl when he was 16, naming it after the Aztec god of fire and renewal. The group blends hip-hop, rock, and indigenous rhythms, with Martinez handling vocals and guitar. He grew up in Colorado, born in 1997, and comes from a family of Native American elders and environmentalists.
Their song 'El Cielo' paints a picture of a world affected by climate change, but includes the Spanish line 'El cielo nos espera', heaven awaits us, as a note of optimism. The band has released albums like 'Xiuhtezcatl' in 2015, 'Act Now' in 2018, and 'Break Free' in 2020.
Other members include Izel Martinez on vocals and keyboards, Mateo Martinez on drums, and Nanette Martinez on bass. Their music often addresses environmental concerns, drawing from Martinez's background and activism.
