Community members are invited to a free screening of
Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World
on Sunday , March 24 , 2024 , 3 p . m . at the Civic Center Library Storytime Room ( 1188 S . Livermore Ave . )
This revelatory documentary brings to light the profound and overlooked influence of Indigenous people on popular music in North America . Focusing on music icons like Link Wray , Jimi Hendrix , Buffy Sainte - Marie , Taboo ( The Black Eyed Peas ) , Charley Patton , Mildred Bailey , Jesse Ed Davis , Robbie Robertson , and Randy Castillo ,
Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the Worldshows how these pioneering Native American musicians helped shape the soundtracks of people’s lives .
The idea for
Rumble
came about when guitarist Stevie Salas , an Apache Indian and one of the film ' s Executive Producers , realized that no one outside of the music business knew about the profound contribution of these Native musicians . Renewed attention to this missing chapter in the history of American music led to the publishing of Brian Wright - McLeod ' s
The Encyclopedia of Native Music
, an exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian , and eventually this documentary . This film is appropriate for adults .
