"This is the first commercial recording of the fiddle band music of the Tohono O'odham people of Southern Arizona. Utilizing instruments originally introduced by Spanish missionaries, the fiddle band sound is highly unique, utilizing violins, guitar and drums playing polkas, two-steps and mazurkas. The result is an exciting sound and one of Southern Arizona's richest musical traditions."
Elliot Johnson ~ fiddle
Lester Vavages ~ fiddle
Wilfred Mendoza ~ guitar
