Songs Of The Native Americans

Indigenous American Folk Ensemble

Songs of the Native Americans is not a specific artist, composer, or band but rather a genre that encompasses music created by indigenous people of the North American continent. This genre includes traditional music from various tribes and nations, each with its own unique cultural heritage, instruments, and vocal styles. Artists within this genre often aim to preserve and celebrate their ancestral traditions through their music. Some well-known Native American musicians and groups who have gained recognition for their work include R. Carlos Nakai, known for his Native American flute music; Buffy Sainte-Marie, a singer-songwriter and social activist; and the group A Tribe Called Red, which blends electronic music with traditional powwow drums and vocals.
