"This revelatory documentary brings to light the profound and overlooked influence of Indigenous people on popular music in North America. Focusing on music icons like Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Taboo (The Black Eyed Peas), Charley Patton, Mildred Bailey, Jesse Ed Davis, Robbie Robertson, and Randy Castillo, RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World shows how these pioneering Native American musicians helped shape the soundtracks of our lives. The idea for RUMBLE came about when guitarist Stevie Salas, an Apache Indian and one of the film's Executive Producers, realized that no one outside of the music business knew about the profound contribution of these Native musicians. Renewed attention to this missing chapter in the history of American music led to the publishing of Brian Wright-McLeod's The Encyclopedia of Native Music, an exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, and eventually this documentary." -- Container

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

indigeonois people of north AMerica submitted by rjsjwilliams on June 24, 2018, 1:20pm How Native Americans like Jimi Hendrix, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Charley Patton (to name the few) influenced and pioneered the music of our lives. About 2 hours very instresting

Worth a Look submitted by Beth Manuel on August 17, 2018, 12:40pm It was interesting as well as enlightening to learn about the musical pioneers who are Native American. I was unaware that Jimi Hendrix was part Indian. Likewise about Robbie Robertson & Link Wray. By listening to some authentic Native American music you can hear how Native American roots influenced the music we know and love.
It was particularly to learn about Jesse Ed Davis and Randy Castillo. The footage of Mardi Gras in NOLA also depicted the inter-relationship of Native Americans roots to African Americans. If you like music and learning about other cultures, this is the film to watch.

Music fans: a MUST SEE submitted by mowjac on August 27, 2018, 9:47am Do you like music history? Are you interested in the roots of music, the blend of cultures? Or are you interested in how history has covered up the "color" in music? Any of these and this DVD is for you. Another well done effort by the folks who brought you "Reel Injun" about Native People's influence in modern culture, how their own culture went underground to survive and how in the 70's, it was suppressed again. I'm musically ignorant, and found it fascinating!
