1) Tatanka Biography
It was around 1993 when he first got in contact with Dance/House music.
Fascinated as he was by this scene, he started mixing records together with a friend who occassionally used to organize some private parties among student friends.
In 1995 he got his first opportunity to be a residence-DJ at the Alhambra Club on the Sunday's afternoon.
Two years later he had his first collaboration with Radio Mare Imperiale which introduced him also for some gigs at the Imperiale di Tirenia in Pisa.
After that it took about another year to see him in control on the decks at the nocturnal clubs.
The first [and only] club which saw him Bing resident on Saturdays was the Evolution Planet in Busseto and, in time, Tatanka's LiveSets made their round across the Italian nation... which eventually brought him bookings at clubs such as "Shock", "Domina" and the "TntKamasutra".
Nowadays Tatanka refuses to be a resident at any club, in order to stay available to play his LiveSets every Saturdaynight in a different corner of the beautifull Italian nation together with the Free Spirit family.
Other than the clubs as mentioned above Tatanka also worked with; [Not in order of appearance]
RegiaMania, Ecu, Bolgia, Cyborg, Hollywood, il Pach�Paradise, Italghisa, Parhasar, Due, Dupl�Taverna Jory, La Gare, Notorius, Ninfa Egeria,Areamito, Shibuya, Florida, Extravaganza, JeJ, il Tempio, Stargate, Blue Kaos, U-boot 96, People, Sportin Club, Sundance Event, Boom, la Canniccia, Street Parade Italia and many more...
Other than this he has also played at events such as; X-Qlusive Italy, QlubTempo-14, Frequence Festival,
Defqon1 2005,XX-lerator, Hardbass and the Swiss Titanic event.
DJ for about 12 years now and producer for about 7 years and made Mixes and ReMixes for RecordLabels like; OverTek, ZanzaTraxx, Pasta, DjU, Sigma, Wicked, Activa, Loud e Clear and many more.
With those he has released some of his masters under some other aliasses like; Tatact, Tatarola, The Stomper, Pastaman, Bison, LiquidFighters, PokoPunk, Kam, Kx3 and many more...
2) The meaning of 'Tatanka':
Tatanka is a Native American word from the Cheyenne tribe and means; Bison.
In ancient times the Bisons romed the American prairies in hurds, and as they passed in a running stampede... the ground trembled along with it.Homegrown in Denver Colorado, Tatanka is a three piece specializing in the sounds of dub, progressive reggae and electro. Heavy Drum & Bass grooves originating from within provide the pulse for the party as the music invites you to get down and dirty. These Denver players have shared the stage with many major national acts and continue to push they're sound to the next level. As a young band they persist to impress people all over the nation and have a following in states all over the USA. Soon to be major players in dub, these boys will show you a sound like you have never heard or seen before. Keep an ear out for Tatanka as they make their way to a speaker near you.

Hear Me Now
Tatanka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
searching for an answer
humanity forgot
can't take life for granted
situation seems alot
what will we do Babylon we must stop
take all the gold away
powerless they fall we call that day
can't hold on any longer
time to raise your fist
if you have something to say
police man try to lock me up
my wrist too strong they break off his weak hand cuffs
prisoner no longer
we can stand stronger
and move together
climbing up the mountain top
found our final answer momentum can't be stopped
drinking water from the fountain
this is our world
we decide what we amount to
tell me when you close your eyes
do you see a vision
of us living better lives
nothing should surprise you
hold the truth and banish lies
it really doesn't matter if you give your all and fight
foundation set
truth is all you need
speak honestly
prisoner no longer
we will stand stronger
and move together
The lyrics of Tatanka's "Hear Me Now" talks about the need to put an end to various challenges plaguing the society. The song starts with the singer climbing to the mountain top, trying to find an answer to humanity's forgotten desires. Life should not be taken for granted, and Babylon's problem has to stop. The singer emphasizes the need to take away all the gold, and the powerless will fall, calling that day. The situation seems stronger, and we cannot hold onto life any longer, so it is time to raise our fists if we have something to say.
The second verse continues on the same note, with the singer stating that they have found the final answer and that momentum can't be stopped. Drinking water from the fountain, we can decide what we amount to in this world. We should always close our eyes and see a vision of better lives, hold the truth, and banish lies. When we give all of our might and fight for what we believe in, it doesn't matter if we win or lose. The foundation set is the truth; we should speak honestly, move and stand stronger together.
The song generally encourages us to stand together and fight for our beliefs, the truth, and human rights. It emphasizes that life should not be taken for granted, and we should live better lives.
