I’m not a musical ignoramus either — former professional guitar player and arranger, magna cum laude graduate of Berklee College of Music decades ago. I am very open to music of foreign cultures. Developed a love of East Indian music — which has no vertical harmony at all — in high school. I like Japanese koto music, middle eastern music, African drumming and singing. But you couldn’t pay me to sit through a concert of traditional American Indian music.
“Caddos or Kiowas. But could be Comanch.”
From the classic western “The Searchers.”
To which Country is she a Native. Let haer go Home, NOW.
Or
Domineering, Academic Feminist Hens Call Their Spectacle the Million Man March.
I wouldn’t want to offer you roast opossum either.
Also consider the music and the message are integral with Native American. They don’t go for flights of abstract instrumental fancy like our Bach or Beethoven, call that a deficiency if you will, but it is a different cultural viewpoint. Let the narrative that goes with the music be translated alongside, and now see if it means something. Even Edward MacDowell was able to get moods out of it.
If you’re focused on the translation, you’re talking poetry, not music.
This is what the more unsophisticated call song.
They are just angry dependent malcontents lashing out at the hand that feeds (the source of their self-loathing). While they may think their attacks on the “USA” are attacks on white people, they are sadly mistaken; the Kenyan Muslim has destroyed this country to the point where it is unrecognizable (and certainly no reflection of a “white” culture). This country now is the best they can hope for (where their influence is far larger than their population merits); whites continue to just ignore them as wild beasts and move on with their lives as best they can.
No..it’s a very unattractive woman.
