WOKIKSUYRE: MEMORIES
The Rabbit Dance Songs performed on Part Two (CR-6192-C, Porcupine Singers, Vol. 6) and Part One (CR-6191-C, Porcupine Singers, Vol.5) are sung for those who enjoy traditional Lakota music. In addition, they were selected carefully to portray how the changing lifestyle of Lakota people can be seen in the songs performed over the decades since the turn of the century. These two albums document the changing conditions of Lakota life of the last seventy-five years.
Song descriptions and translations are by Severt Young Bear, Ronnie Theisz and Calvin Jumping Bull. Several of the songs are recalled here thanks to the memory of the Porcupine Singers, Irving Tail, who was ill at the time of the recording. This album is dedicated to Uncle Henry Young Bear.
