Medicine Singers is a group of singers and drummers in the Native American pow wow style. They sing in an Eastern Algonquian dialect under their original moniker, Eastern Medicine Singers.
In 2017, they began collaborating with Israeli guitarist and producer Yonatan Gat, formerly of Monotonix, after meeting him in Austin, Texas, at the annual SXSW festival. After doing a number of one-off projects together, they teamed up to explore "a completely new realm of music" that they included on their self-titled debut album, released by Joyful Noise Recordings in association with a new sub-label called Stone Tapes, in 2022.[1][better source needed]
