RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World brings to light a profound and missing chapter in the history of American music as well as the Indigenous influence and electric look at Native American influence in popular music. RUMBLE traces the melodies,

rhythms, and beats of traditional Native music as they took different forms across the spectrum of 20th-century American rock. Native Americans such as Robbie Robertson and Buffy Sainte-Marie helped to define its evolution, while Native guitarists and

drummers such as Link Wray -- the electric guitar pioneer whose titular instrumental hit was banned from the radio, Hall of Famer Jimi Hendrix, who was part-Cherokee, Jesse Ed Davis, and many more forever changed the trajectory of rock and roll.
