Native Americans who have transformed American blues, jazz and rock will be the subject of a film and panel discussion to follow at the next MontanaPBS Indie Lens Pop-Up set for 7pm Monday, December 3rd, in Room 182 of Montana State University’s Visual Communication Building.
Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World, a film by Catherine Bainbridge and Alfonso Maiorana, shows how Native American musicians transformed modern American music despite frequent attempts to ban, censor and erase their culture. Rumble features Robbie Robertson, Taj Mahal, George Clinton, Slash, Jackson Browne, Taboo, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Steve Van Zandt, Quincy Jones, Tony Bennett, Iggy Pop and many more. Due to use of profane language, this film may not be appropriate for all audiences.
A panel discussion will follow that will include Eric Funk, Maren Haynes Marchesini and Montana American Indian musicians. MontanaPBS has created a Spotify playlist for attendees: http://bit.ly/ILPU_MTPBS.
Indie Lens Pop-Up is a neighborhood series that brings people together for film screenings and community-driven conversations.
