Apache Indian Drums (Sedona)

With the placement of this track on the CD, the recording artist may have wanted to display the abilities and traditions as well as to showcase the culture and talents of the Apache Indians of Sedona. This music could date back from as long as 1000 when the Apache first came to the American Southwest, but it is more likely this music comes from later like closer to the late 1500's when the Spanish came to this area of the US. This song may have been written for entertainment purposes, such as to be danced to. I can imagine vividly an Indian tribe dancing and chanting to this drum beat while around a fire. This song could have been used to unwind, release tension, as well as to have a little fun after a long day toiling in the desert.
