Slide & Sway

Round Dance Songs Recorded Live

by Northern Cree and Friends

For the Native peoples of northern Saskatchewan and Alberta, winter is round dance time. 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 vocals soaring to the rhythmic pulse of the hand drum. On this "live" recording, the Northern Cree Singers one of the most respected pow-wow groups in North American, host one of the largest round dances held. The sounds of Canada's finest round dance singers will make your feet slide and your hips sway the night away!
