Sacred Songs of NATIVE AMERICAN HEALING: songs to learn by 02-0501

Howard Bad Hand sings at slower pace and lowered volume to aid persons wishing to learn the songs. By recording one track and then singing along with himself on subsequent tracks, Howard sings all parts in a three part harmony. This an excellent recording for non Lakota speakers to hear the words of each song clearly pronounced by a native Lakota speaker.
