Nahko (Nahkohe Parayno) is a sixth generation Apache/Mohawk with a Puerto Rican/Indian mother and a Filipino father. The American artist is already popular in Australia and his star is rising in Europe. His latest single makes clear how come.

Be Here Now is taken from his new album My Name Is Bear, which was released in October. The video features a montage of recent live footage alongside colourful, rich scenes of Nahko performing on a misty mountain top and playing a magnificent Elton John-style grand piano festooned with twinkling lights.

But most important, of course, is the song itself. Well, that can’t go wrong if it kicks off with a classic American radio rock intro à la John Mellencamp’s Jack And Diane, does it? Check it here:
