Native American Contemporary

Native American Contemporary music is a genre that blends traditional Native American sounds with modern styles, characterized by soulful vocals, storytelling lyrics, and a mix of acoustic and electric instrumentation. Emerging in the 1960s and 1970s, this genre drew from folk, rock, and blues influences, while maintaining its roots in Native American musical traditions. Notable for its powerful, emotive vocals and poignant lyrics, which often address social justice and cultural heritage, Native American Contemporary music gained popularity during the American Indian Movement of the 1970s. This genre not only preserves Native American cultural identity but also showcases its resilience and adaptability. With its unique blend of traditional and contemporary elements, Native American Contemporary music distinguishes itself from other genres, such as Folk Rock and World Music, by its distinct cultural perspective and historical context.
