This 2-disc set is the 2nd Rough Guide to focus on N.A. music. A mix of both traditional and contemporary songs from many Nations including Navajo, Blackfoot, Apache and Cree. Disc 2 is by Pura Fe from the Tuscarora Nation. Every track is worth a play and the typically good Rough Guide notes are informative. *1. Gorgeous a capella intro by female chorus then driving drums!! 2. Quiet flute w/whale sounds, slow. Then soft guitar. *3. Upbeat female chorus w/tamborine. Lively & way cool. *4. High energy traditional drum circle/call response vocals. *5. Great foot stomping upbeat chicken scratch. 6. A relaxed new age sound w/English vocals. 7. Slow guitar/flute . Relaxed and calming. *8. Powerful drum circle with call/response vocals. Great stuff. 9. Starts slow, picks up a duel between drums and flutes. 10. Upbeat then almost a reggae beat w/vocals. *11. Soaring drum circle voices w/mixed M & F singers. *12. Very slow w/old woman’s voice. Wise and calm. Disc 2 inside: Decca 11/2012 All tracks byPura Fe from her album “Full Moon Rising.” Joined by a strong chorus and backed by strings and percussion. She’s got a lot of passion in her voice and sings both traditional songs but also blues, soul, and funk. She’s great. *1. Midtempo but driving w/chorus & banjo. *2. Warm, crystal-clear female voices relaxed & beautiful. 3. Slow guitar into then languid female voices. 4. Mid/upbeat female variation of drum circle w/strings. 5. Muted chanting then some electronica/blues sound. English. 6. Picking up speed along the way, female chorus & perc. *7. Slow w/Spanish spoken word backed by female singer strangely compelling w/a variety of cultures mixed in. *8. Bluegrass guitar, relaxed & then female singer. Very swampy. *9. Upbeat Indian Soul w/a wicked cool funk. 10. Relaxed strings & vocals that turns into a warm funky sound. 11. Pura Fe speaks against a back of relaxed strings/perc/chant. 12. Solo guitar, downtempo then the vocals sort of flow along. | ||
