Cwy (Amazing Grace in Cherokee)

I love Native American music - not the plasticised pop pap. Anyway this is my first stab at something in Cherokee. I hope it sounds ok, I wanted to keep it very natural (I did it on the Rode - 2 tracks, my own harmony line)

These are the lyrics - they are their version of phonics (the language is in symbols) - their phonics are very different to ours.

If anyone else has a love of Native American music, especially Cherokee, I'd love to hear from you.

I'd love to do some more - it's definitely on my wish list.
