The everlasting photographs from Curtis! We have seen them already hundreds of times, but still they remain beautiful and evocative. Amongst others, some photographs from modern Indians,
well-known movie actors. But here again, it is the music, which is so beautiful. Really delightful, with some strains of African gospel. Maybe you already know that an important proportion
of the Cherokee nation is interbred with African blood, sometimes so tightly that one can only see outwardly the expression of pure black blood, with no First Nation features. They
stood together during the American repression and segregation of coloured people. They wove marriage and friendship bonds, and some communities are much influenced by their African genes.
The slow and smooth tempo, the warm and sensual voices, everything in this simple and beautifully arranged song is really both relaxing and refreshing.
