Abstract

Lynn Whidden décrit le pouvoir et la poésie qui se dégage de la musique rituelle de Powwow. Elle décrit un powwow typique comme étant un rassemblement dindigènes qui dure plusieurs jours consécutifs durant lequel les dances sont accompagnées par un groupes de 4 ou 5 joueurs de tambour et chanteurs. En analysant les éléments de la musique de powwow, elle démontre la rigidité de sa structure et son invariabilité, et que que celleci tire sa force de sa forme répétitive, mettant ainsi en lumière les caractéristiques de cette musique rituelle.
