Por que cantam os Kisêdjê

Like many other South American Indian communities, the Suya (or Kisêdjê) Indians of Mato Grosso, Brazil devote a great deal of time and energy to making music, especially singing. Anthony Seeger considers the reasons for the importance of music for the Kisêdjê -- and by extension for other groups -- through an examination of myth telling, speech making, and singing in an initiation ceremony.
