About Cahuilla Bird Singers and Dancers
Bird singing is a traditional practice among the Cahuilla and other Native peoples of Southern California's desert regions. The songs are performed in cycles, sung in the Cahuilla language and accompanied by gourd rattles, with dancers moving alongside the singers. The cycles recount journeys and creation narratives, and are typically sung by groups of men seated or standing in a line.
The tradition is passed down orally and remains part of community gatherings and ceremonies in the Coachella Valley and surrounding areas. Groups of Cahuilla bird singers and dancers perform both within their own communities and in public settings, where the songs serve as a form of cultural continuity as well as entertainment.
