NS-NV Is Singing About Some Good 'Ol Frybread

Lincoln, NE - On this edition of Native Sounds-Native Voices Aden (Sioux) and Alex are in the mood for songs about good ol frybread. They featured songs that are about awesome tasty frybread. These songs are hilarious in a cheesy sort of way.

Frybread is not a traditional part of Native Americans' diet. When we were put on Reservations was when frybread was discovered. With all the right ingredients frybread has become a well-known food item to try at any Pow-wow or Native social gathering. Native people have found humor in frybread and this playlist pokes fun at it.

Also included in the playlist are the 1970’s Native rock band XIT. XIT was the unofficial rock band of A.I.M. (American Indian Movement) during their political protests for Native American rights. Today, musicians like Micki Free and Native group Indigenous lead the way for Native American music. NS-NV is proud to bring all these awesome Native artists together for a couple hours a week during the live broadcast of NS-NV. Listen live to NS-NV every Thursday morning from 8–10 a.m. C.T. on www.AIROS.org and www.KZUM.org.
