As I understand it, Pow-wows are intertribal gatherings of Native Americans
at which there are groups who do a circle dance around a drum. Sorta like
the stereotypical image of Indians doing a war dance around a fire.

Here's a description of powwow music from the Matoska Trading site:
POWWOW
This is the music typically heard at powwows. It consists of strong drumming
and singing. The dancers keep step to the drum and celebrate the dance in
their own unique styles. Some recordings are live in which you can hear the
bells and whistles of the dancers and others are studio recordings. There
are several distinct types of music in our powwow category:

Northern Style
A Northern Style drum is a drum group which sings in the style of the
Northern Plains tribes such as the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, Crow,
Blackfeet and Cree. Northern Style powwow music typically has very high
pitched singing and a fast beat. Note that members of Northern Style drums
are not always from northern tribes. There are excellent Northern Style
drums which are made up of drummers from the Navajo Nation (a very Southwest
tribe). Black Lodge Singers are a Northern Style drum.

Southern Style
A Southern Style drum sings in the style of the Southern Plains tribes such
as the Ponca and Kiowa. Southern Style powwow music is typically sung in a
lower pitch and slower beat than Northern style music and is somewhat more
reserved.

Subject: (exotica) Soukichi Kina

A friend of mine with a enormous vinyl and cd collection played me a
tune by this very weird band from Okinawa called Shoukichi Kini.   It
is basicallly "now sound" music form Okinawa circa '60s  Many of the
songs are sung in this super high pitched nasal voice, but not
speaking the language we could only be wowed by the weird weird sound
of her voice.  My friend got ahold of the lyrics to one song and
they're just as wierd. This is not your typical worldbeat fake music
but real 60s pop from Okinawa.  His message follows.



          " The translated lyrics for "Haisai Ojisan" are given in the
cd booklet for Peppermint Tea House by Shoukichi Kina, who wrote the
music and lyrics:

>           Haisai Ojisan (Hey Man!)
>
Hey, man! Hey, man!
If there's a drop of sake left in last night's little bottle
Won't you give me some?
Hey, boy! Hey, boy!
You think I'm satisfied with a little bottle?
Don't say there's none left!
OK, man! If the little bottle's not enough, give me a big one.

Hi, man! Hi, man!
I wanna marry, I'm not a kid anymore. Can I marry your daughter?
Hey, boy! Hey, boy!
Marry? No kidding!
You're still too young to talk about such things.
OK, man! I'll wait until my hair turns white.
>
Hi, man! Hi, man!
What a big bald spot you have!
Hey, boy! Hey, boy!
Bald men are excellent.
My forefathers were really excellent.
OK, man! I'm gonna have cosmetic surgery to add bald spots.
>
Hi, man! Hi, man!
Your beard is funny, like the whiskers of an attic mouse.
Hey, boy! Hey, boy!
Laugh at my beard, but women love bearded men.
OK, man! I don't wanna be outdone by you,
Starting tomorrow, I'll grow a beard that looks like the whiskers of a
mouse.

Hi, man! Hi, man!
Last night's hooker was really pretty, you should go there, too.
Hey, boy! Hey, boy!
In Chiji, Nakajima and Watanji*, I'm a big shot.
 OK, man! Going around here and there, I'm wasting my money.
You're wasting your money.
>
*red light districts in Okinawa
>
>
>           The booklet says that the song is "from the single on
> Marufuku..." [careful!] "...Records, 1966."
>
>           I never heard the version you mention, but Shoukichi Kina
rocks the house!  His (now ex-)wife Tomoko sings like Yoko Ono with a
context (she is the "boy" in the lyric, I gather, and Shoukichi is the
"man").
>
>           I heard of Shoukichi Kina from a Ry Cooder album, Get
Rhythm.  Cooder does a song called "Going Back To Okinawa" which is in
the Kina style.  Despite the fact that Kina is shamefully not credited
anywhere on Cooder's album, I read an interview with him and David
Lindley where they raved about this Okinawa rural dance music by
Shoukichi Kina.
>
>           I think this album is great!  But I hesitate to recommend
it to others.  It is on David Byrne's Luaka Bop lable.  I have learned
to buy everything on Luaka Bop, but that's just me."

The Orb, "Little Fluffy Clouds", from their first LP Adventures Beyond The
Ultraworld and also on the recent U.F.Off: The Best Of The Orb.  A good place
to start for further info (if I do say so myself) is the Orb discog page at
<http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orb>; there are links from there.

The voice is Rickie Lee Jones, by the way, as interviewed on Reading Rainbow
by LeVar Burton (who got dubbed over in the VW ad for some reason).

Nothing quite like the wonderful experience of hearing Orbs "Little
Fluffy Clouds" for the first time.  When it was released in  1986?
mid/late '80s  it was just so far ahead of its time.

If you ever saw Public Televisions great 6 or 7 part mini series on
rock & roll it ends very fittingly with Orb sitting in a chair.

I use to know whose voice they sampled but I forgot.  There was a
rumor it was Sinead Occoners but that never rang true.

I was *really* disappointed when I finally
got my hands on the CD.  I dunno ... they
were compared to the Carpenters, or late
60s "flufflegum", i.e. The Cowsills, but
there's something that's missing -- I think
they sound a little anemic and colorless.
"Kites are Fun" doesn't exactly make me want
to run down to my local Sportmart.  I guess
there's nothing like a little cocaine,
sleeplessness and anorexia to induce that giddy magic.

And as far as their children's music is concerned,
I don't think they'll be taking the place
of Marais and Miranda any time soon.

I have to say I didn't like it - it sounded like a very obvious FD piss-
take/pastiche album to me...  But maybe I need to give it more
than one listen!

HEATHEN!  No, I am biased being somewhat of an Enoch Light

No, I think it's Joni Mitchell.  But wait a minute, I think the new
version has a totally different sample...

Your record finds in the past couple of weeks are like some kind of
lounge/exotica "starters kit".   I won't comment on every record, I promise.

>Doc Severinson & Friends  "Swinging & Singing"

I have yet to hear a Doc record that I wanted to keep.  Not these Command
ones anyway.  Once upon a time when I imagined that I might become a
Command completist, I kept them all but at this moment I am Doc-less and
haven't regretted it yet.  I can't say what I don't like about them.  Too
much trumpet?  Not enough percussion?  Doc was/is certainly cool but I
guess we don't have the same taste in big band music.

>David Carroll "Mexico"

I don't know this particular record but David Carroll has been a consistent
revelation to me on almost every record of his I've bought... even the ones
where the covers promised blandness.
If you get a chance, check out his "rePercussion" or "Latin Percussion" or
"Percussion Orientale" records.  But even the lesser ones are pretty good.

"Yello Rolls Royce"

I pretty well only responded here because of this particular record which
brings back very bittersweet memories.  This was one of my father's
favourite records for some reason that none of us kids could ever figure
out.  In case you haven't examined it, it's a movie soundtrack.  And it's
one of those movies where you follow the car as it goes through a series of
owners, a lot like the recent movie "The Red Violin" if any of you have
heard of that.
Of course I thought it was totally sucky at the time but I would still like
to find it again.  As far as I can remember, my father only had about
twenty records.

>Tony Mottola "Plays Country & Western"

You can't knock Tony but again, I only keep the records where he does
sixties tunes.  His playing can be annoyingly "tasteful" and I can only
really stand him when he decides he has to rock out a bit.

Kahiki, is this the Kahiki in Columbus, Ohio?

You know, I only learned of the place about a year ago and it's only an hour
or so drive from me.  I'm gonna cry.  I've been planning to make the trip
but haven't done it yet.  I should've known about this.

Kahiki has it's own web site and last I heard is branching out into selling
Kahiki branded products in grocery stores.  I'll post the link when I have
time to find it.

Yes. I've posted about the band before, and got about 2 responses. What =

While I can understand the comparisons with the Free Design, I think they=
 are kinda different. Free Design is much better produced and the lyrics =
aren't as one dimensional. Inner Dialogue is a self-help type LP and all =
the songs reflect that. Whereas Free Design is a band. I can understand =
why some people don't like Free Design, but considering they are my favou=

feel the harmonies are so rich and the production is so beautiful that =
frankly, what isn't there to like? At least for me.

And if anyone can help me with my Inner Dialogue question, I'd greatly =
appreciate it.

Subject: (exotica) obits: Wei Lung-hau, Rod Hull

                           *Wei Lung-hau
    TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) -- Wei Lung-hau, a master of exchanging jokes in an art
form known as ``xiang sheng'' died March 7 of prostate cancer. She was 70.
    Her death ended an era of Chinese arts and culture that prevailed under
Taiwan's policy of seeking unification with mainland China.
    Wei was among hundreds of actors, actresses and other performers brought to
Taiwan in 1949 after Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government lost a civil
war to the Communists on the mainland.
    Wei and his long-time performing partner, Wu Chao-nan, attracted large
audiences with ``xiang sheng,'' an entertainment form where two people
exchange rapid-fire jokes with incredible language skills, sing songs and
tell humorous tales. They made the cross-talking art popular in Taiwan at a
time when entertainment was rare.
    They succeeded also because they made Chinese matters the theme of their
cross-talk, coinciding with an official policy to promote Chinese culture
and arts to reinforce the Nationalists' claim to be the sole legitimate
government of all China.
- ------------------------------
Found in alt.obituaries:
The British entertainer Rod Hull, most famous for partnership with his
puppet Emu, has died at the age of sixty three.
He was dead on arrival following a fall from the roof of his house on Kent,
southern England. He has been attempting to mend or adjust a television
aerial.Apologies. Rod Hull died in Winchelsea, East Sussex. Apparantly, he'd
been trying to improve television reception during the European Champions'
League Quarter Final, Second Leg, between Internazionale of Milan and
Manchester United.
Pretty inevitable, I'd say. One hand on the TV aerial, one hand up Emu's
jacksy, what is there left to hold on with??
Bizzare as it may sound, there are two fairly well-known emu puppet acts.
The best-known was Hull - his Emu was a glove puppet famous for savaging all
and sundry.  The other act, whose name I forget (Bernie some-one?  The whole
act is forgetable) was an unnamed emu (or was it an ostrich?), which he rode.
This rings a bell. I remember a Saturday morning kids show here in the
states with a guy and a puppet emu. Possibly the Harlem Globetrotters, or
the Hudson Bros. I can't imagine there being two emu puppet acts.
The Hudson Brothers Show during 1974-75. Also their nighttime show.
