Navajo

Navajo

Navajo has been played on NTS shows including The Sam Wilkes Radio Hour, with Night Chant first played on 30 June 2022.

The lifestyles, philosophies, and traditions of the Navajo nation are represented by songs for herding, planting, harvesting, hunting, blessing hogans, and soothing children. The 1933 and 1940 field recordings by Laura Bolton from settlements in New Mexico and Arizona beautifully document a music largely vocal and highly melodic with relatively short song phrases repeated, divided, and combined in intriguingly complex ways.
