Warriors

You gotta check out The Psalters.

Here is their mission:

“we are the cry of the exodus.there is no home for us here.we are a nomadic tribe of psalters, walking in the footsteps of ancients past to the far corners of the present, united as one voice against the oppression within and without.one more echo in the eternal song of our First Love, our Hope, our Pillar of Fire.”

Their style has influences from all over the world. They had so many instruments onstage with them, it took a good 2 hours to get everything cleaned up and packed away. They travel all over, and claim that their only home is their Black Bus. I am close to speechless at this point as to how their words, their songs, their war painted battle cries impacted me. I haven't danced that hard in years!
So, you just gotta check them out for yourself. Try to listen if you have the capacity.

Dag yo! That's good stuff. The recordings are good, and I'm sure that a live show would be unbelievable. I've been trying to figure out how to describe their sound. The best I've come up with is "Gregorian monks speaking in tongues jamming with a family of bedouins" or "Rage Against the Machine praying with Rusted Root." But every song I've heard is so different that nothing quite captures it. Thanks for the recommendation Katie, stay cool.
