  • What kinds of things interest you when it comes to Southern Singing?

    Are you intrigued by the new groups?

    Are you intrigued by the new songs?

    What about just something new in general?

    Maybe even how "old school" some folks go?

    Let us hear it and where you've heard it.

    To get a true picture of your purpose in life, you only get the whole picture when you listen with your mind, your ears and your heart. This way The Creator has a direct connection with you and only you...no outside interference.

    When you follow the will of IT that created you, understanding that your purpose is not for you...but for IT and all that IT has created, there can be no wrong except failure to be obedient. Only then do we jeopardize the gifts we are given.

    Its not the final destination that defines us, rather the journey taken!

      Nothing against my Northern friends or Northern drums, but I generally like the Southern sound better, regardless of what kind of song it is.

      I do find that I get goosebumps when I hear a good Southern Women's Tradish song. It just has kind of this majestic sound to it. If I hear one on Powwow Radio it makes me want to get up and dance right then and there no matter what I'm doing.

      I've been listening to all of the new Southern groups on the Powwow Idol recordings, and although old school is cool, I really find myself leaning towards the groups that do have kind of a fresher sound. There are a couple that don't sound like anybody else (and I hope they do great).

      To add to what Plumes said - good backup singers really enhance what the drum has goin' on!

      I think there are enough drums in the powwow world to have room for both - old school and new sound - and no doubt plenty who appreciate each (or maybe both).

        The Modern Southern Singer
        by LSS
        I recently ran across a post from Sirdaddy where he commented on how quite a few southern singers are taking their leads way up there nowadays. I'm not calling any names, I think we all know someone who is guilty of this if not you yourself. I know I am.

        At any rate, I've listened to...

        Northern or Southern? Pick one!
        by yellowthunders mama
        It is my understanding that as a drum, you are either Northern style or Southern style. Would you frown upon a Southern drum singing Northern songs or a Northern drum singing Southern songs at a powwow? I witnessed that at a powwow this weekend. I understand a singers desire to sing both styles but...

        different sides of singing

        How often are you called upon sing a northern style song?

        How often do you this happen?

        When this happens, do southern groups have their own songs or do they pull something from the "Top 40"?

        Traditional vs. Contemporary Southern
        by WhoMe
        Southern singing has certainly evolved in my lifetime. I've seen major changes in traditional tribal powwow singing. Some of these changes include:

        1. Tone. The range of singing has now reached so high that you could shake hands with a jet pilot! Sing it. Don't scream it!
        2. S...

        What Does Your Drum Sing for Non-Southern Categories?
        by RedShield
        So, there are northern categories that are not traditionally our own... I know what I've been told to do, but what do you sing to cover songs like Women's Jingle, Duck and Dive, Chicken Dance Songs, Crow Hops, etc...

        Do you use Northern Songs, keep the construction and lower the pitch?...
