Tony has been singing and playing music almost all of his life, from the 50’s as a child until today. He played a lot of music in the 60’s and 70’s in San Francisco Bay Area where he performed in coffee houses, clubs and concerts. As an owner of "Garcia's Mexican Restaurant" in Haight Ashbury, this naturally led him to play in free rock festivals in the Golden Gate Park where he had the honor of performing with bands of that era like the Grateful Dead, Santana, Jefferson Starship and the Youngblood's.

He also has deep roots in indigenous life. His given name is Cante Wambli which means Eagle Heart in Lakota, and he was raised by his native nation, the Tarasco people of Mexico.

His Contemporary Native American Music draws from all genre's of music celebrating life, family and his spiritual connection to indigenous ways of being with respect to nature. They are his primary sources of inspiration. He is always striving to grow, learn and share the findings of his truth through conversation, music and storytelling; as storytelling is part of native culture that weaves the fabric of his (and all of our) existence.

Tony’s philosophy is simple: Life is sacred, a blessing and Creators sacred gift. He writes about nature, justice, love, respect, unity and faith. Tony seeks an abundant blanket of gifts to share with family, friends and the people in gratitude, rather than fame or excessive financial fortune. His deepest desire is to share this experience of love and understanding as he walks on this Sacred path.

Thank you for your interest in Tony’s music and work. He hopes it pleases you.
