CD: Song Of Love, Luck, Animals & Magic

This CD has amazing songs of Yurok and Tolowa indians Which many of these are used today in many gambling games to traditional dances. For an example of one song it is not in english its sort of a chant. The love song for instance would be performed to make someone fall in love with or come back to the singer. They are considered "lucky" songs. Translation 1 come crossways, you look. Come a-tearing crossways. Glad to get backk to his sweetheart. This would be sung five times, beginning very loud on a high pitch and decreasing his volume as the melody descends the scale. If you are interested in the Northern California Indians music this is a CD to get.
