Indian music is that practiced by the first people living in America. Also called Indians, Native Americans are the indigenous peoples whose presence precedes any Western colonization. Organized in true empire or single tribe, we find traces across the continent where there are the North American Indians, Meso-American Indians, Native Americans in Caribbean and South American Indians (Native American drums for sale).
Following the extermination initiated by Hernan Cortes, the pre-Columbian music has almost disappeared with the great cultures of this region. The music was an essential cultic importance since accompanied the sacrificial ceremonies and was also associated with many dances, or just domestic activities.
The Yumans (Pomos, MIWAK, Luiseno, Catalineno, Gabrielino, Mojave, and Maricopa Havasupai) of pentatonic scales wear without semitones, simple rhythms, a register of an octave in a cast singing, without tension. They also wear a controlled elevation of height of sound component structured into sections melody notes.
Pre-Columbian music had a special destiny because if it disappeared in state with the great cultures of continent exterminated by the conquistadors, it has been preserved in very isolated pockets of territory in small tribes, and within large Indian minority remaining as obviously having been influenced by European culture so much that we should speak more properly of hybrid music to him.
Archaeological research has demonstrated the existence of North Indian music in seventh century, but the first written records go back only to time of conquistadors and the first academic studies began in nineteenth century. Vocal music is generally syllabic and can solo, choir or responsorial, in unison or more rarely in polyphony. It's accompanied by drums, rhombus and blades whose rate increases metric. Among the text songs (often interspersed with syllabic singing), there are secret (for ceremonies) and public (for history, crops, accreditation, etc.).
This genre is characterized by extreme vocal tension, a record of nearly an octave with a strong use of perfect fourth in tetratonic scale and descent make up the melody. This area includes the desert area of Utah, Nevada and Oregon (with the Paiutes, Utes, Shoshones, Modoc and Klamath).
The Indian songs are usually unanimous community songs and dances. The songs often have a magical or spiritual slant or background. The dances are among the ancient folk music and are rather related to European than in African music. The toolkit includes rattles, rattles and scrapers used in magic rituals, and drums (usually that are studded only with sticks). To melodic instruments are typically used only flutes, sounding flageolet-like (overtone-rich). Occasionally string as used a native species violin.
This area includes Alaska, the Northwest Territories, Yukon, Nunavut and Greenland, populated by Inuit who are not considered a Native Americans people first. Inuit is simple; it is good to share including a rare playful throat singing on this continent, melodies restricted to register a sixth, third of prominences, declamatory or repetitive effects with recitatives and more complex rhythmic hardly formed by a drum accompaniment on frame or box drum.
