Thoughts:
Medicine Singers are a collective of Eastern Algonquin powwow musicians lead by Daryl Black Eagle Jamieson. Yonatan Gat, an Israeli guitarist who first performed with the collective at SXSW, as an avant garde/jazz flair to the music. Since I live on the ancestral tribal lands of Eastern Algonquin people, specifically Massachusett, Wampanoag, and Nipmuc, I feel quite honored to hear this music. Check out The Fader for a song-by-song breakdown.
