I'm doing a paper on a topic that is under researched. The information gathered may be used for an upcoming grammy exhibit. I want to find bands, musicians, singers, & so forth that were at least part native american ('Indian'). They don't have to be big or famous. I just want to know who they are, what kind of songs were they singing, & so on (anywhere between 1940s to 1975). The tricky part is, I need to show a connection, some relevance between these artists & the los angeles area. So, having said that, I need these artists to be perhaps from LA or even just performed a lot in that particular area. La was a hot spot for attracting musicians. Please remember that the LA area is a large one (includes silver lake, watts, burbank, hollywood, tujunga, studio city, etc), & that we are focusing on the period from the 1940s to 1975. Any names you can drop, detailed info, links, & so forth are appreciated. I just need someone to put me in the right direction so that I can do my research. Heck, even if you have relatives who are native american & were singing back in the day, let me know. I want to know what they were singing about (traditional songs, etc). Thanks.... Read More »
