I discovered these artists independently of one another. Hearing them together is like sitting by a fast flowing river, watching the sheer power flow. Gave me chills.
I'd be curious to know that too.. @Jake Blount do you maybe know any good resources on the mixing of European/settler/African with native music influences? The only book I know that really brings up this topic is "How Early America Sounded", but it doesn't go so deep into the transformations of musical culture
I'm mentioning the tune title that I heard Jimmie Driftwood used on his recording so that when others search they are more likely to find this great (JB/TH) version (I found it in a round-a-bout way): I'm Gonna Go a-Huntin' for the Buffalo.
She’s playing a five string fiddle with an added low C... technically the same range as a viola but without the bigger body. Gives more flexibility and options to a fiddler but I wouldn’t think of it as a replacement for viola if you’re thinking of the ‘full body’ sound that the viola can produce. Hope that’s helpful 🎻
tain't nutin like the "Hunt the Buffalo" that I learned...but it is my understanding that the now commonly played Hunt the Buffalo has evolved quite a bit from the original...which I assume you are trying to emulate here...I have heard it in D, A and even G...my preference is D...as Robin from the Twin Cities taught me
Jacques Blaque , I can understand what's being said just fine. There's some historical information about the tune that you're missing out on. Maybe try turning your volume up?
Congratulations. Save me from the extended speechifying, please. My volume IS UP. Not looking to pressure-test my speakers once this very poorly engineered bit resumes normal, consistent levels. TTFN
If you don't care about our culture and history, you don't deserve to enjoy our music. There are thousands of other old-time videos on TH-cam for you to enjoy-have at it.
Jake Blount- did you read what I said, about inaudible mumbling and lousy engineering? Guess not. If you don't mind, I'll just ignore your petty judgment, and go where I please whenever. Pizzoff.

Wow, that's some great musicianship right there! Love them!
Great performance you two. Also enjoyed the story about the tune. Don't stop what your doing because it's a blessing hearing your talents.
Does anyone know what tuning this is in?
Jimmy was talking about his two uncles who lived in Indian Territory (Oklahoma). He never let facts get on n way of a good story! Lol
Great tune, performance and story... thanks for sharing
Explore Jimmy Driftwood's music.
Slippery fiddling....superb.
fascinating history. does anyone know more about the history of this type of native american music?

@@j.reu.s9540 look up Rhiannon Giddens, she talks a lot about this in her videos and interviews

Please edit out the tuning
Is Tatiana playing a Viola? or what is the tuning there? LOVE this btw!! I didn't know such a thing existed and would LOVE to read/learn more on it.

Nice playing...wish they had edited the intro,,,worth the wait though...
Wow. Listening just made me feel like I couldn’t stop holding on. So great.
I love your knowledge of the history. You remind me of Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon in that you have music and history written across your soul.
Oh, I thought Jake Blount was the violin player, because he was playing the violin when I met him.
Go jake!
Green Corn; yes. Choctaw...my folks...
Tuning & inaudible mumbling ends at 2:28. Then the part I came for.

Jacques Blaque "save me from the extended speechifying" was aimed at me, not at the video quality.
Shoddy, shoddy assertions on Native history
