I never thought I'd see a Pow Wow nominated for a Grammy. Cool though. If you're going to nominate a Pow Wow, Gathering of Nations is a good one to choose!
ReplyDeleteA Grammy, really? Does this mean that those of us that did not attend will be able to hear a sample of this celebrated music, or is this one of those "it's not just who you know, but who you blow" nominations?
ReplyDeleteSomeone must be really connected and had a real good time at the nine after the pow-wow in order to have the Gathering nominated for a Grammy. I am not impressed.
As the article says, the Grammys have a Best Native American Music Album category. Presumably Natives win a Grammy every year in this category alone.
