Music from the Ojibwe Indian tribe from the north and centre of the US and the south and centre of Canada, and of several islands in the Pacific.
1.
A new album of rare material, performed by members of the Ojibwe people. The Ojibwe are the ‘Aboriginals’ of south/centre Canada and the north/centre of the US, who are part of a larger cultural group known as the Anishinaabeg. ‘The Native American Flute’ has a fascinating range of sounds and surprising melodies, with flutes and drums, but also sounds of nature like the forest, rain, wind, thunder, eagle calls and howling wolves. The music played a strong ritual part. The Ojibwe had no written language, which means many songs of old also functioned as historic tales.
