Candice Muna

Candice “Primitiva” Muna is a native Chamorro music artist, cultural practitioner, educator, and pottery artist whose work bridges the ancient and contemporary. Rooted in her Indigenous heritage and ancestral wisdom, she weaves stories through music and clay, creating powerful expressions of identity, memory, and resilience. Her music blends ancient-inspired Chamorro chant with original contemporary songwriting, representing a new era of Chamorro music.

One of her original works, “I Maga’håga” (2022), exemplifies this combination of ancient chant and modern Chamorro folk music.

As a cultural preservationist and educator, Primitiva is dedicated to nurturing the next generation by passing on traditions of Chamorro music and ancient Marianas redware pottery while honoring the practices of the past. Whether performing on stage or shaping clay, she creates with intention, embodying spirit, purpose, and cultural continuity through every medium.
