They're a pretty good drum group from Canada. This past September they hosted a powwow I was at and I liked what I heard. The judges must've too because they placed 1st and beat Eyabay, Battle River and Northern Wind.
mountain soul those guys have a great sound, they got a tape on sweetgrass records too, theyre from smallboy camp in Alberta, great straight style sound, i rank them right up there with high noon, battle river, big bear etc.......you guys are in for a treat!!

Aho!

Has any one heard of a drum called Mountain Soul? I'm lookin for their current C.D but have had no luck in finding one. I heard them sing in towoac co, tried to get a c.d from them but they sold out pretty quick.
I have observed over the years a number of ndn owned recording companies starting up and this to me is a good thing. Wacipi, Noon, Wakinyan, Drum Hop...come to mind and independants like Midnite..Stony Creek. What bothers me that not only did they take our land now they want to record and sell our music...
Who knows about these people? They are well known on our rez, all sorts of stories about little people playing in the forest and kidnapping dogs and cats. A couple of kids get kidnapped and kept for like a week and then found on some trail speaking in tongues, and wondering around. These kids that get...
