Traditional Music Channel is for everyone who has a passion for music.
Music is an expression of human creativity. UNESCO reports that among all the performing arts, music is the most universal and is found in every society, most often as an integral part of other performing art forms and other domains of intangible cultural heritage.
Traditional forms of music are considered carriers of cultural heritage because they represent expressions and traditions transferred through generations of a community.
With recordings from more than hundred nations our collection of traditional music offers a staggering diversity of our humanity.

My parents would never teach me about our culture because they think it’s about Satan and evil spirits... but I think the residential schools taught them that... and my parents are christians but I will never forget where I come from... it’s the first time I’m listening to this and I felt... so restored and happy.. I was overwhelmed with... I don’t know it’s kind of hard to put into words... my heart is beating with the music.. I feel connected to my ancestors some how.. it sounds weird, my spirit felt like it detached from flesh and danced behind me... argh... but I’m probably overreacting.. great music

I am Cree out of Manitoba Canada. My soul is on a seeking journey. Don't know much of my indigenous roots..

The fight for Freedom.... Native American ancestors understood this more than most.

Not native from US or Canada, but I love hearing Cree music! I'm Nahua and Chichimeca/Purepecha from Mexico.

My grandmother was abused by a white husband because she was Cherokee. We should always rememebr to treat people equally no matter where they come from. ❤

Still here, still singing, still dancing, still STRONG. Aho! We've NEVER surrendered. Out Treaties are Nation to Nation. I'm Nakota, Nehiyaw and Anishinabe. The Iron Alliance.

I am Homo sapiens from Earth and I embrace this music as part of my human culture! Thank you for putting this music up on YouTube!

I'm not Native American, but I can't even begin to describe how powerfully this music moved my soul. I'm also drawn lately to Native American wisdom/philosophy. I'm grateful for channels like these that share these treasures. 🙏🏾

May the Great Spirit bless every Native tribe with health, happiness, and abundance.

I am so-called African American. I am not aware of any Native American ancestry, yet every since I was a child, the music (especially the pow-wow music), the culture, the history, the songs and the plight moved me as if I was connected. Such is often reflected in the themes of my pottery art. I play pow-wow music as I travel in my truck and on my motorcycle; - Yes I get strange looks from many people but I don't care. I feel these songs in the atoms of the cells in my body. In them, I feel free. By my birthmarks, I have the image of a turtle; - The patient one and contemplating spirit. I have also the image of a hawk perched on a mountain; - The solitary sentry of his environment, fast, fierce and majestic in purpose and confidence. Stand on my spirit brothers and sisters!

This is the first sound we hear. Our mother's heartbeat. It resonates in all of us regardless of race or creed because we all hear mother nature's heart beat. It calls out to us and brings us home. ❤

I’m not a Native American, I’m a Russian girl which whole her life cries from feeling freedom and unreal wisdom and pride which is put in Native American music. I feel myself so close to all the sacred traditions. Love you all. Such a deep culture, my soul is dancing
-
I grew up going to my local powwow every summer. They would play for three days, I would fall asleep and wake to it. There has been no place that compared to running through tipis with other children laughing as the drums shook the Earth. To watch the dancers was hypnotic.

As an oji-cree with Irish and Greek in me. Hearing this music makes me feel teary, I love my pride and culture. And I hope if your seeing this. You have a good day and future my friend.
-
This singing gives powerful energy of free will, pride and wisdom. Thank You, Cree.

I lost most of my Cree heritage when my grandmother's parents died (my grandmother was three at the time, and they moved her into foster care off the rez as her parents had no family to speak of), but whenever I get the chance to peek back into who I am, I feel a part of my soul open back up. This is who I am.

I have irish blood but even I felt the pull of this culture
