This is a music playlist featuring music from tribal communities throughout Southern Arizona that mainly consist of the four sister tribes known as the Tohono O'odham, Akimel O'odham, Onk Akimel O'odham, and Ak-Chin Indian Community. This social type dance music has been around since the 1800's, first introduced by the Jesuit missionaries who came into contact with the tribes. To learn more please refer to past episodes titled "The Culture of Waila, part 1 & 2."

I wanted to put together this playlist as my tribute to all those O'odham out there missing the dances. This is probably the first time in history that all dance celebrations on O'odham lands have been cancelled due to the current health scare of COVID-19. So I dedicate this episode to anyone in need of a good Waila dance session!
