Tapwe's VP of Music Pura Fé (on RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World),

“When people hear the traditional music of the American south, they say, ‘That’s Indian music? I thought that was African music,’” the indigenous music historian Pura Fe says in the film. “All of the music of the south was informed by the land, and therefore by us.”
