Buffy Sainte-Marie - 'No No Keshagesh'

Go on, take a look and a listen. This is Buffy's new video for 'No No Keshagesh', a new type of protest song for the new millennium, an attack on corporate greed and environmental rape, with Keshagesh as the greedy-guts puppy who keeps eating and eating and putting nothing back. With pow wow drums and singing, looped tapes and some great guitar work. I love the pow wow dancing at the end, heightening and building to a climax. I am *so* looking forward to seeing Buffy perform this live at the end of July. With thanks to Michael for posting this first (again!).

Not got tickets yet? Shame on you - click on over to the Queen Elizabeth Hall site to buy the last few while you can.

PS: I just wish her record company could spell her name right in the title...
