Mother Jorie and daughter Christie West make up the duo Sayani (meaning Zion). Together, their heartfelt and spiritual music shares their family stories of the past and present.

NAMMY winners in 2010 for Best Gospel/Inspirational Album, they are Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Irish and English and their work reflects their cultural blend, with a strong traditional Native influence. That blend is featured in this track with both the hand drum and sampled percussion under their rich, building and beautiful vocal harmonies. Close your eyes and listen.

VIDEO: Indian in the Machine - "Look Inside..."

The full title of this new video from Indian in the Machine is Look Inside Indian's Magical Rainbow Aura Crystal - a mesmerizing dance of colour and light. 

It turns out crystals make for interesting camera filters - holding the crystal close to the lens, Indian and the Machine filmed shots of the sun to great effect. So sit back and let this mellow, meditative track set you on smooth course this week.
