about

This recording sees Cree Confederation at the height of their power with full-velocity voices and drumming. Their songmaking style lies at the crossroads of firmly-rooted tradition and the sound of today's Pow-Wow. A favorite of the Pow-Wow circle, Cree Confederation has to the power to urge dancers to shake their bells and kick up their feet and to move the audience's heart.

From the Plains Cree people, Cree Confederation boast a strong lineup of singers and song composers and also feature one of the most distinctive groups of female singers in Pow-Wow country.
Cree Confederation have forged a sound that is a clear blend of the older traditional Plains style of singing with the dynamic inflection and word songs of the contemporary style. This blended sound is highly popular among dancers on the Pow-Wow trail.
The title track "Beautiful Flower" features a unique double-lead intro coupled with stirring melody sung in the Cree language.
