My great grandmother was from the Cree or Obejiwa { sp? ] tribe and I'd like to learn something about their musical traditions and other customs. Thanks - Wesley |

I ahve one of Keith Secola's CD and , while he blends old with new and sounds pretty new, I LOVE his music! They call it Alter-Native music! |

15 Mar 01 - 05:27 PM (#418560) Subject: RE: Native American music question From: katlaughing An excellent book you would enjoy is "THE INDIANS BOOK: Songs and Legends of the American Indians" by Natalie Curtis...she collected many songs in the field and wrote them down by hand. The book has those as well as the actual words in the native language of the singer and her translation, as well as pictures and verbatim stories of those she met. There are several copies available at www.bibliofind.com. |
