media : EX-/EX-(some slightly noise. some slightly wear that does not affect to sounds. side B has slightly warp that does not affect to playback.)
An obscure one just arrived. Released by Indian Records Inc., the Oklahoma-based U.S. label dedicated to Native American traditional music, this album is believed to date from the early 1970s. It documents ceremonial and social songs of the Crow people of the North American Great Plains cultural area, including the male dance tradition Grass Dance, the Warbonnet Song honoring war deeds, bravery, and social prestige, the highly shamanic Owl Song, and the Push Dance Song associated with communal social dancing. While the large drum with group vocal style bears similarities to other regional traditions, the Owl and Push Dance songs distinctly reflect the musical identity of the Crow. Deadstock, unplayed copy opened in-house solely to confirm condition. A faint paper scuff from the inner sleeve is visible on part of the vinyl surface, but it has negligible effect on playback.
