Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked The World

Great documentary, amazing music, with great, true insight on the artists.

Excellent film. Lots of interviews. I really appreciate the information on the history of people such as Charley Patton. I especially liked the recognition the film gave to the great guitarist Jesse Ed Davis

Great documentary. Well done.

This is an extraordinary documentary about the contributions of American Indians to both rock n' roll and the music of the United States. As stated elsewhere, this America de los Indios, like any other land has its own unique song in its heart and soul, the indigenous people who have inhabited it for more than 15,000 years, its spirituality, hopes and dreams, and the courageous struggle to survive Euro-American genocide. Link Ray, Redbone, Buffy-Sainte Marie, the late Robby Robertson, and many, many others have enriched the music and culture of this nation for centuries. Also, Mexicans are an indigenous people! Mexico had 80% (80 million) of the estimated 100 million when Europeans invaded; and even today, it has more indigenous and mestizo people than all the continent of American put together. This doc should be shown in schools, community centers, and to ethnocentric politicians.

I came across this film on Prime Video and I have to say that in my 77 years on Earth this is one of, if not the best documentaries I've ever had the good fortune to see. This film is a great history lesson for anyone and a must see for those who love Rock, Blues and Jazz. There was so many uplifting moments as well as heart wrenching information that I wasn't aware of and had never come across in any of the history books that I've read. I seldom purchase DVDs anymore but I purchased this one shortly after I viewed it.

A great, eye opening history and a lot of great music. I never realized just how many popular performers are of Native American descent. The American entertainment industry should be embarrassed that they discriminated against Native Americans forcing them to hide their heritage so as to get work. Pat and Lolly Vega of Redbone had to pass themselves off as Mexican in order to get work as musicians during the 60's. Native Americans contributed tremendously to Rock and Roll and most people are totally ignorant of their contributions. Even Charley Patton, "The Father of the Delta Blues", was of mixed heritage with a Cherokee grandmother according to many historians. Howlin' Wolf, who was mentored by Patton, had said Charley was white, black and Native American. Many historians have said Patton was 1/4 to 1/2 Choctaw. Link Wray was Shawnee and is the "Godfather" of distortion and power chords. One has to wonder how Rock and Blues would have developed and how they would sound today without the involvement of Native Americans.

This is an excellent historical DVD about Native culture, their contributions, and stolen legacy. Young folks should pay attention to the excellent interviews with the original Americans. I've watched it two (2) times and plan to have a family gathering to watch it again with me for discussion. Not only is this DVD educational, but it is also excellent entertainment.

Loved the info. The history of music we never learned. The more we learn about the true Native Americans the more we enrich our lives.

What an Awesome Documentary, part of musical History that should be known and shared. I really enjoyed watching it and learning of the great indigenous musicians who should get their due like everyone else. Incredible musicians!!! Delivery was before my expected delivery date, so thank-you for your prompt service and Awesome Documentary.

素晴らしい音楽ドキュメンタリー映画 ギタリスト、スティーヴィー・サラス自身が５年もかけて全てのインタビューを収録、彼の人脈の広さや音楽愛が伝わった。

Entertaining, educational, revealing & inspiring music documentary. One of the best since 1976’s The Last Waltz. Multiple award winner, I viewed at both Palm Springs IIFF and First Nations film festival in Cathedral City. RUMBLE is extremely well produced and edited. With 25-30 hours of film condensed into 102 minutes, expect within a year or so to view on tv some of the edited film not making final cut. The impact indigenous people have had on North American music is quite profound and overlooked- until now! You will not be disappointed regardless of your musical taste by this Canadian production.

This documentary is an amazing piece of musical history, focusing on the impact Indegenous musicians and their music have had on the music we listen to. It is so educational as well as being historical. This should be a part of any music-minded individual's collection.

Je le recommande à tous les amateurs d'Histoire de la musique. Très intéressant et informatif sur la place méconnue des Indiens d'Amérique dans la musique américaine (blues et rock).
