Black Brook Singers of Aquinnah, Massachusetts on the island of Martha's Vineyard. We specialize in powwow and traditional eastern American Indian style singing. We are the community drum of the Aquinnah people. Our music is influenced by both our traditional and modern cultural ways.
We're available to sing for powwows, socials, art/music festivals and other types of performances. We also have presented to groups of all different ages: pre-school, grade school, college and adult groups regarding Wampanoag singing, culture and history. We're always open to trying something new and different.
