Biography:
Ulali was an a capella trio originally composed of Soni, an Apache, Mayan and Yaqui; Pura Fé, and Jennifer (both Tuscaroran). They make simple beats and rhythms more complex with their alluring voices when they sing, shriek and shrill melodically to their music. While some of their songs are sung in English, majority are in different indigenous languages of the Americas.
Pura Fé recently left the group to pursue her solo career.

English Translation:
A hundred years have passed
Yet I hear the distant beat of my father's drums.
I hear his drums throughout the land.
His beat I feel within my heart.
The drum shall beat
so my heart shall beat.
And I shall live a hundred thousand years.
