Lawrence Laughing & Teresa Bear Fox

Lawrence "Happy" Laughing is among a new generation of Native American singers that is bringing its traditional music and culture into a more contemporary setting. Lawrence Laughing conveys a quiet, hymn like quality in his songs. These aren't trance-inducing pow-wow chants, but gentle traditional songs that evoke his connections with his people and their environment. http://www.myspace.com/lawrencelaughing http://www.silverwave.com/laughing.shtml

Akwesasne means land where the Partridge drums. The little birds would thump their feet and it sounded like drums. Bear Fox is a very talented lady that writes her own heart felt songs that reflect her traditions, her family, and her people.
