Navajo Women Singers. SNL


This is one of my favorite songs by the Sweethearts of Navajoland's
Social Songs.

The Sweethearts of Navajoland included members: Alberta Wilson, Lillian Ashley, Darlene Juan, Eileen Reed.

The Sweethearts of Navajoland, led by Lillian Ashley, are one of the top traditional singing groups from the Navajo Nation. Formed in 1989, this group has performed throughout the United States and in Europe including the Roskilde Festival in Denmark. The group's name was chosen because the singers come from the area surrounding Chinle, Arizona which is sometimes referred to as the "Heart of Navajo."

I have posted the link here for you to listen:
