World Music on Continental Drift

This week, we visit the traditional culture and music of the first Americans. Creation narratives, hunting songs, migrations stories, magical formulas, and many more have been told for generations through song, and the variety of music is infinite. The rich history and atmosphere surrounding the sounds heard tonight are just some of the reasons we here at the Drift decided to stay within our own borders for this one!

Also make sure to check out this edition of Global Shuffle where featured the music of our friends on MySpace.com.
