THANKS !!!      I have been looking for Native American Indian music for a long time and I finally found it with Brule's "We The People." The entire CD is based on traditional, sacred Native American chants with Brule adding musical accompaniments. The strongest elements on this CD are the chants themselves. The music is composed in such a way that the spoken words are the highlight of the songs. Listening to the songs you hear the beauty of the various Native American languages. Among them are Dineh, Dakota, Lakota and Kiowa nations. You don't understand what they are saying but you can imagine to a degree what they may be singing about. If for no other reason, listen to this CD to hear and examine the beauty of the languages.

With so many of the Native American nations shrinking in population the languages, history, traditions and knowledge are disappearing with them. It could be asserted that this music is desecrating sacred chants but I tend to not feel that way. Brule's music brings a contemporary feel to centuries old chants that propel the listener on some level back to the deserts, plains or forests where they were sung. Brule's music has a New Age tone with a strong Native American flavor. It's not really "poppy" or sanitized like so much music out there today. Listen to "Sacred Praises." If you like that song, you'll love the CD. This CD makes people stop and consider the Native American Indians across this land. I highly recommend it.
