Yup'ik doo-wop: Pamyua flirts with fame while clinging to artistic vision

Article Abstract:

The four members of the Pamyua music group are Eskimos who perform Yup'ik songs in four-part harmony, a sound reminiscent of the 1950s doo-wop. The group is well-known in Alaska, but its members want to expand their audience, but not lose the cultural base of the music.
