 * __Native Americans – Music.__**

When it comes to the music from the Native Americans it is  usual to separate the North-America and Latin-America. Even though the language and culture are a little bit different in the North-America the music is mostly the same. The singing dominates and the melody instruments are mostly flutes, drums and rattle instruments. The singing is often intense and tense. Song and dance are often related to ceremony and rituals.

In the Latin-America archaeologists have found many types of instruments, like horn from bamboos, pan pipes, many types of flutes, drums, bells and rattle instruments. These were all in use before the “white man” reached their country. Later they mixed their instruments with violin, guitar and harp. Music has always played an enormous role in The Native Americans life, both before and after the “white man” arrived.

Here is one of the drum types.
