Ulali (/juːlɑːˈliː/) is an a cappella group of women who self-identify as Native American. Founded in 1987, its current members include original members Pura Fé (self-identified Tuscarora/Taíno), Soni Moreno (self-identified Mayan, Apache, Yaqui) and Jennifer Kreisberg (self-identified Tuscarora).[1][2] Not all of the women are enrolled in a Native nation.[3]
Ulali's sound appropriates an array of Indigenous music including Southeast United States choral singing (pre-blues and gospel) and pre-Columbian music. Ulali's live performances address themes of Native struggles and accomplishments.[4][5]
