Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This is the first commercial recording of the fiddle band music of the Tohono O'odham people of Southern Arizona. Utilizing instruments originally introduced by Spanish missionaries, the fiddle band sound is highly unique utilizing violins, guitar, and drums playing polkas, two-steps, and mazurkas. The result is an exciting sound and one of Southern Arizona's richest musical traditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Polka influenced fiddle music, March 6, 2005
I didn't know what to expect the Gu-Achi Fiddlers to sound like. That was what intrigued me when I bought it. It has a nice polka sound to it -- not like a German polka band. The fiddles dominate the sound and it is all instrumental. While there are guitars and drums they're barely heard here. If you're looking for R Carlos Nakai this isn't it. It sounds nothing like any Native American music I've ever heard. In fact, I don't hear any Native American influences in it at all. Its more akin to hillbilly music or old bluegrass than anything else I can think of. Don't let the album cover fool you, this album was recorded in 1997. The cover photo is not the band, its just an old photo. So don't expect it sound like some 1920's recording, the quality is excellent as are the musicians.
