Indian drums are pretty cool. I enjoy the steady consistent beat, it's kind of similar to what people listen to today; a raging beat that kind of gets the body pumped up. When I hear this song it just reminds me of how a lot of athletes will listen to songs with beats, like the beat of the Indian drum, before playing a game, to pump them up.
The artist probably wanted to accomplish bringing out a part of the Indian culture, the music, and the dance. This is not a song any one would listen to for relaxation, it's a song played with a purpose. The artist was probably trying to show that a song like this was played in spiritual gatherings, or maybe before a battle, something up beat to get the Indians "pumped" for whatever lied a head for them. This song defiantly highlights the time in America when it was the Indian's lands, when the Indians were the main, if not sole, population in the Americas. This song represents a part of the American story because the Indians were the first ever Americans, and this song represents their culture. before any European explorer stepped foot on to America, the Indians were there.
