[@Gen_X_Rosey]

Redbone decided to embrace their culture instead of hiding it when Jimi Hendrix (who was their friend and part Cherokee) told the brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas (the one in black in the middle and the one singing) to "Do the Indian thing." Lolly Vegas was also Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitarist. According to what I read somewhere, the term "redbone" is a Cajun word used to refer to a mixed race person. The one dancing (Tony Bellamy) was Yaqui Native American and Mexican. The brothers Pat and Lolly are/were Yaqui and Shoshone Natives and Mexican. The drummer is Filipino and Chicano. I have a few more facts about them that I talk about in an upcoming video.

Yup, Native Americans were the first to Crip Walk. Actually, it's called the Fancy Dance. The song was released in 1974 but it was featured in Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014 which revitalized its popularity a second time. Redbone is a Cajun term for a person of mixed-race "half-breed". The members applied the word to name their band which signified their mixed ancestry of Yaqui, Shoshone, and Mexican heritage

[@dennytaylor1005]

A lot are saying this is from the Guardians of the Galaxy ... and yes it is. But it was wayyy popular in the day. I love how they did some traditional dancing in this vid. The Midnight Special was one hella cool show.

[@bruuno77]

Actually something I briefly studied in Grad school for History- "Redbone" was originally Cajun (Louisiana) slang for racially mixed person. Because of the use of "red" to describe Native Americans it was commonly used to to described racial mixed with at least half being Native American in the western US. However, as you went east it was used to described white and black mixture.

Now Redbone.. please look this up.. is used in African American slang.. but it's roots is more in black and native Americans mixing hundreds of years ago.. matter of fact (look it up) there is an ethnic pocket of "Redbones" in Louisiana, and Mississippi.. and there is a movement to have them and other "pockets" of Americans that evolved into their own American ethnic group.. for example.. my mother's people were Mulungeons.. they are tri racial people who hid in the hills of Appalachia prior to the revolution.. they were runaway slaves, people who were of different races who lived in the colonies that intermarried and left because of persecution by mainly the Puritans.. and even Jews.. they were already living there for a few Generations before Daniel Boone came along...

Fantastic bit of history, thank you for sharing that!

[@jerryhenson6352]

So true. I was a teen in the 70s. At live stadium venues, as well as theatres, and auditoriums, when the lights went down, it was like everyone arrived in the same car. Sharing, understanding, respect, etc.. I tend to think more about that time than present day. No us and them feeling that is splitting our country in half. I don't remember all that hate I'm seeing now. I'm from Cherokee County, North Ga.. My first school was Ball Ground Elementary, named for its township and the location where the Cherokee Indians were known to use the area as its name implies. The Etowah river runs through the county. Sadly, a Walmart was built near my childhood home and atop the site of an Indian village. When crews began uncovering artifacts, construction was "slowed" and some precious artifacts were salvaged. Cherokee and other trnative Americans became aware, and understandibly protested. How could they not. A nearby college, Reinhardt, has an exhibit that includes some of the history. Also, the county nextdoor, Bartow, has a huge burial mound and nearby museums. As a child, a close relative I'd see often at my two Great Aunts home, carried himself much more towards his mothers heritage. Physically more recognizable as Native American. His mother was full Cherokee from the Walking Stick tribe. I cherish every minute I can recall spent with him. He is listed on our Henson family tree (Tom), which dates back to 1730, Culpepper Virginia. It's truly sad what we've done to a culture (Native Americans including Cherokee) known for creating their own alphabet, often of wealth, stikingly attractive in their dress and appearance, and in cases, living in houses with beautiful gardens, when their aggressors did not. Each summer our county holds the Cherokee County Mother's Day Pow Wow and Indian Festival, a weekend event at the Etowah River's edge. Next May will be the 32nd annual. Indians come from around the country to camp, dance and present traditional demonstrations. With the world itself seemingly at threat and hate manifesting itself in the form of multiple mass murdering of children, long range bombing of hospitals, etc., we should all remember change starts with us. Didn't intend to get on a soapbox like that (or write a book).

[@Az777]

It's been used in so many movies and TV shows. The most recent is the Netflix show 'F is for Family', as the intro song. You should also check out 'Witch Queen of New Orleans' from them. If you've never heard of Marie Laveau, she was a light skinned free black woman (white father) who dealt in spells and voodoo (and some midwifery among other things) and garnered quite a reputation in the 1800's. I think their band name choice was more about the 'Red' man, than than the Redbone term you're familiar with, though there might be a slang connection somehow.

[@bigjunk59]

Yes! They do a great cover of Marie Laveau! Country Singer Bobby Bare done the version i heard first but Dr. Hook done it originally...

[@RFWieder]

If you want to go off in another direction I recommend Buffy Sainte-Marie, a member of the Cree Nation she emerged in the 1960's as a folk singer/songwriter who wrote of the plight of indigenous tribes as well as social issues!! The U.S. government had her blacklisted due to her songs about the Viet Nam war. She did win an Emmy for writing the theme song for the movie "Soldier Blue". At 80 she still performs and is relevant!! A good place to start is her song "Now That the Buffalo's Gone"!!

They had this song , "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee", "The Witch Queen of New Orleans", etc. Check those out. They were kind of a funk, soul rock, swamp rock, etc band. Brad/Lex. Redbone is a slang used for pretty much anybody mixed with Native American (reddish tone of skin) . Example: Mexican Americans, Creoles/Cajuns of Louisiana/East Texas/Missisiippi (African, Native American, French/Spanish mix), AfroLatinos (mixed race Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, etc), Melungeons (mixed race Appalacian Mountain people in the Carolinas), etc. High yellow, yellowbone is normally a slang for light skinned African Americans (light tan, yellowish tone) normally mixed with Europeans.

Nahko & Soja, if memory serves, but his stuff with Spearhead is awesome too, very danceable reggae style guaranteed to put a smile on your face!) It's so hard finding one song to list for each artist/group. Some of it falls into a modern folk/hippie type genre but some of them cross genres pretty effortlessly. Rising Appalachia, for example, may use bongo drums and banjos in the same song or follow a bluegrassy song with a spoken word one backed by a hip hop beat. A lot of these guys tend to perform together as well.

This song was a huge hit despite being banned in several markets for the line "get it from the main vine". They eventually relented and played the song due to its popularity and Lolly Vegas explanation of the meaning. It was about connecting with Mother Earth and not main lining or so he said. Great song and great group of guys.
