Ulali

略歴

Ulali Project features Pura Fé (Tuscarora), Layla Locklear (Tuscarora), and Charly Lowry (Tuscarora.) Founded fifteen years ago with original members Pura Fé, Jennifer Kreisberg, and Soni Moreno; Ulali Project is the first Indigenous women’s group to create their own sound from their strong traditional roots and personal contemporary styles. They have created a new genre of Indigenous music and inspired the creation of other Indigenous women’s groups. Known for their unusual harmonies and wide vocal and musical range, Ulali Project’s sound encompasses an array of Indigenous music including southeast choral singing (pre-blues and gospel) and pre-Colombian (before the borders) music. With their beautiful yearning and powerful voices, they drum, rattle and stomp. Breaking the stereotypes of Indigenous women, Ulali Project is political, romantic, and humorous. Their live performances, which uniquely address Indigenous struggles and accomplishments, are energetic, and informative.

This doc explores "The Band" guitarist and songwriter Robbie Robertson's Native American background. Half Mohawk on his mother's side, the film follows him back to the Six Nations reservation in Ontario where he spent summers growing up and picked up his first guitar. The resulting album, "Contact From the Underworld of Red Boy", draws on his childhood First Nation influences and includes musical collaborations wth Native artists such as John Trudell, Rita Coolidge and Buffy Ste Marie.
