Big City Indians are a wonderful group from Vienna, Austria that have several Native Americans in their lineup. They call their emotional energetic sound "Native Indian Power Groove", which is a mix of Native music with a touch of Rock´n Roll and Blues flair.
In lead vocalist Wolfsheart's own words, "Big City Indians present a groove for all senses, full of strong sounds. We have stuck with the native intertribal basics, but added some more ethnic sounds, tribal beats, mystic ethereal keyboard sounds, rocking riffs, Native American Flute, meditative sounds and grooving guitar.
The aim of the group is music between energy and emotion, between ethnic elements and a smooth Rock´n Roll beat. A musical sound straight from the soul. Traditional drumming and the vibe of a modern rock band. Native flute creates harmony in the heart and mind touching the soul.
We are evolving everyday in our struggle to keep up with today's world. Our native sound adapts to the life and time we live in. Our Lyrics show a part of Native American life, their myths, their spiritual world and how we feel about it. This is a very important issue for us.
The story of the Native American culture consists of ancient knowledge and their relationship to Mother Earth. All our lyrics tell the same story, speaking about Mother Nature. We also stand for freedom and acceptance of the Native American as a vital part of our world's historical culture".
