The original video is supposed to be a song sung to children, according the announcem,ent at the start.

Performed in elaborate ceremonial dress witha drumkit? I don't think so.

It would be nice if there were available versions of Native American music somewhere in between primary ethnographic recordings (which aren't all that available anyway) and these tacky Celtic-Women-in-feathers arrangements (usually with icky electronic keyboard work - this one is a bit more tasteful with the Michael Nyman style string figuration, but it's still basically a rock video with a few token fragments of Native American melodic material). I can see why there might be reasons that no such versions exist, but there should be more openings for intelligently arranged NA music now than before.

Here's a lullaby from a completely different culture (Sephardic Jewish, sung in Ladino) to give an idea of what I have in mind. It is an arranged setting - there's a melody instrument and a drone - but by and large the voice is left to carry the song on its own, and there's no intrusive crap from the Western music biz added to make it more "commercial".
