Faith in Bloomington, MN

The ingestion of the psychedelic plant peyote is an integral part of some branches of the Native American church. Kevin Yazzie's FAITH addresses the peyote ritual by providing a soundtrack of traditional Native American music in a suite of six songs entitled "Four Harmonized Peyote Songs." These consist of drumming, chanting, rattles, and singing, most of which forms a steady, entrancing pulse. The final track, "Faith," is a beautiful culmination to the journey featuring lush, choral harmonies to the chants.
