Prepare to beam with P-R-I-D-E!

So, without further ado, in the 31^st edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “Two Spirits” performed by Sander Sanchez.

That is a mic-drop worthy line, Sander Sanchez (Sander Eagleroad Sanchez). Sanchez hails from Denmark.  However, he’s half Native American (South Dakota) and half Dane. His Native American heritage is integral to his single, “Two Spirits”. In an intriguing article, Point of Pride describes Two-Spirit as “Identifying as Two-Spirit is a term and concept rooted in Indigenous cultures in North America, primarily among Native American, First Nations, and Indigenous peoples.” They go on to describe Two-Spirit persons as being both masculine and feminine. “Two Spirits” was written by Sanchez, Lise Cabble, and Marcus Winther-John, and produced by Rasmus Rex.

“Went dancing in the spotlight of a ritual / Learning to be my own individual.” 💯! Sander Sanchez’s Native American heritage is exhibited throughout “Two Spirits.” So is his individualism that won’t be threatened or derailed. Beyond the ritual mentioned in the introduction, he references the significance of nature.  Fearless, in the pre-chorus, Sanchez asserts, “I’ve got no shame to face my demons / Shame to show my love / I’ve got no shame, I taste the freedom / When I kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss my love.” He should be free and feel no shame whatsoever.  Kiss who you want, you handsome fella! Shame is a killer in the LGBTQ+ community that needs to be eradicated. In the chorus, he swears by “the rhythm of my drum,” and confirms his two-spiritedness 👏. Our talented Native American/Danish pop artist ate and left no crumbs on “Two Spirits.” He sings beautifully and expressively with incredible sincerity; you buy what he’s selling. The lyrics are poetic, meaningful, and uplifting (“They can shoot you down, try to kill the spark /… But they can never break my eagle heart”).  The musical backdrop is striking, with colorful keys, synths, and ample rhythm – the rhythm of HIS drum, after all! Big and grand, “Two Spirits” is nothing short of triumphant.
