Northern Cree and Friends, Vol.7: Dancin’ ‘til Sunrise
For the Native peoples of northern Saskatchewan and Alberta, the cold months of winter are Round Dance times. People gather from near and far to attend these traditional social dances that last through the night. Filled with humor and good feelings, the songs that accompany the dance feature soaring vocals, and the steady rhythmic pulse of the hand drum. Recorded live, the Northern Cree Singers of Alberta, one of the most respected Pow-Wow groups in the U.S. and Canada, host one of the largest Round Dances in North America. Featuring the finest Round Dance singers, Northern Cree bring another hip-shaking, hand-swinging recording of their acclaimed Round Dance series.
