ant,

Lovely song of the day! Hold onto that thought. :smile:

Also, a real blast from the past. Transported me back to high school!

John Trudell (With Quiltman singing Honor song)
Title:Listening from the album Tribal Voice

Not a song, but there is singing and drumming.

Another reminder of patience and honor. I awoke last night and saw this song and it rocked me back to sleep. This morning I heard all of the words. Thank you for sharing. :smile:

ImthatIm, Powerful video, have you gone to witness this? What a wonderful open way to reconnect!

Heh – some of the John Trudell phrases do linger on.
And one just did came up again, when I responded to the 2 music threads.
What was it? Something like:
“Some holes are openings through the wall – some holes are holes, please do not fall”.

Well. We call falling into a trance “falling into a crack” or “slipping through the crack”:

Using either drum:

Or (being boat people), you sit on a bench – lock hands like holding oars of a boat & rock back and forth in four beat chant (like Longfellow’s Hiawatha – who got it from us):

The tradition has/shares Siberian Shamanic roots:

Some music is very conductive to ‘Shamanic Journeying’ in a right (nondual,'onness') spirit and in a good and mentally healthy, safe way.
Like some Native American music.

Now all my red flags came up and alarm bells started ringing, when I read the comment – that this song is good for ‘Shamanic travel’:

Noooooooooooooooooo-o! For heaven’s sakes!
Viking culture was into black witchcraft – killing and torture and human sacrifice …
It has NOTHING to do with Shamanism, and I am amazed that people still mix up the two.

Ok. some of those dark Nordic tones are truly beautiful, so one shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Saami and Carelian shamen became well known for summoning thunder, rain or wind for example.

This is wind summoning song:

It starts with Sami summoning the wind and then Carelian (the 4 beat wind summoning chant) alternating.

(The too high pitch singing really hurts my ears but).

A kind of fusion with Swedish musicians … bringing their ‘folky’ instumental elements into it ....

. We could use them in our area! :smile:

Nice complex beat on drums.

yep! Woke me right up. lol but it would be easily heard over the thunder, rain and wind. :biggrin:

I wonder what the elders think of it?
