Talisman

We are Stanford Talisman, a group of singers on Stanford's campus who since our origins have sung music stemming from Black liberation struggles across the world. We've performed all over the globe, be it Hawai'i, South Africa, or Thailand, and in all kinds of settings, from White Plaza to the White House. We appreciate the great challenge of responsibly engaging with the genuine roots of the songs we sing, in their varied languages and cultural contexts, and are committed to bringing these songs to life as best as our abilities allow. With us, you will find not only music in all its rich history, but also a life-long community.
