One of my very favourite NDN (Indian) artists is Keith Secola and Wild Band of Indians. Here's his official website: CLICK. If you don't mind hard rock, NDN style, here's a video of him and the band doing his song, NDN CARS the "unofficial" anthem of Native Americans. Mitakuye Oyasin (We are all related) kat |

13 Apr 10 - 11:40 AM (#2885633) Subject: RE: Skarpi found Indian music . From: katlaughing om, yes! That's where I learned of Keith Secola. There are a lot of scenes from the movie on youtube. There are also many other excellent books by Alexie. He is one of my fav. authors. Sure, Jack, you can see trad on youtube, just put in "Powwow" in the search, but expecting no synth is kind of like thinking "they" all belong on the Rez and forget about any modcons. Your question implies "Native American Music = Drums & Chants, only." Having said that, yes, Rapaire, they are! We've been going to "real" ones for over thirty years and even have some rare recordings. I got to meet Floyd Crow Westerman, in person, and hear him sing an impromptu rendition of Custer Died for Your Sins. It was an honour. |

From: open mike I think Floyd Crow Westerman was one of the few Native entertainers booked at the local Indian Casino....those tribal folks have more cowboys than Indians on their stage....pity! here is some pow wow dancing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s9z3IOpH1g there is a tradition of women wearing a "jingle dress" The jingles were made from tin can lids, rolled into cones (often tobacco lids) and they make sounds as the dancers move. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_dress http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZFefZKlR3g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSX2QMdyEt8 http://www.corbisimages.com/images/67/F48BF24B-9425-45D3-A64B-82BA79ED15A4/NR001586.jpg http://www.furandhide.com/moreinfo.asp?id=7 |
15 Apr 10 - 10:07 PM (#2887629) Subject: Lyr Add: OKLAHOMA POW WOW (Buddy Tabor) From: Ebbie Buddy Tabor is married to a Navajo, originally from New Mexico. Once they were on tour and came upon some signs promoting a Native American pow wow. On an impulse they decided to go, even though it was not part of his wife's heritage. They were both tremendously moved by the experience and here's the song he wrote about it: Oklahoma Pow Wow Buddy Tabor, Juneau, Alaska Pow wows, oil wells, the beat of a drum Dancers in a circle, circle 'neath the setting sun Parking lot, pickup truck, a paint, a mustang mare Cowboy hats and eagle feathers join flying everywhere Fry bread and coffee, buffalo stew Everybody's talking to friends old and new Little children running, laughing, playing around The wisdom of a thousand generations coming down Have you ever been to Oklahoma Winding roads and Osage hills Life is old in Oklahoma Ancient ways are down there still Tepees, lodgepoles, buckskin and beads Choctaw, Seminoles, Cheyenne and Cherokee Blue sky, red earth, our lives are but a song Interwoven fabric, to each other we belong Don't need no watch, no camera, take a picture with your mind Down in Oklahoma, down in Indian time Veterans are honored, into the circle they walk Everybody's praying, now nobody talks Drummer keeps on singing in a high-pitched prayer Red tailed hawk keeps dancing fancy circles in the air Red tailed hawk dancing in the wind Fancy dancing, trying hard to find the end The end is the beginning, the beginning is just the end Redtailed hawk keeps dancing fancy circles in the wind |
