Ulali: Follow Your Heart's Desire

This 1991 Ulali music video for their song Follow Your Heart's Desire won Best Music Video at the American Indian Film Festival was played on VH-1, CNN, MTV, PBS and "Much Music."

Ulali (www.ulali.com) formerly known as Pura Fe, is an a cappella women's trio featuring three Native women singers, Pura Fe (Tuscarora), Soni Moreno (Apache/Mayan) and Jennifer Kreisberg (Tuscarora). Ulali blends a variety of traditional and contemporary indigenous music of the Americas, incorporating political, social and personal issues that affect all of humanity. By fusing outside influences with Native words and music, Ulali challenges notions of how "traditional" words and concepts are applicable in the modern world. The group can be heard on dozens of albums, documentaries and movies.
