Peyote songs are a form of Native American Music , now most often performed as part of the Native American Church . They are typically accompanied by a Rattle and Water Drum , and are used in a ceremonial aspect during the Sacrament al taking of Peyote . Peyote songs share characteristics of Apache Music (Southern Athabascan) and Plains - Pueblo Music , having been promoted among the Plains by the Apache people. Vocal style, Melodic Contour , and Rhythm in Peyote songs is closer to Apache than Plains, featuring only two Duration al values, predominating Third s and Fifth s fo Apache music with the tile-type melodic contour, Incomplete Repetition s, and Isorhythm ic tendencies of Plains-Pueblo music. The Cadential formula use is also probably of Apache origin. (Nettl 1956, p.114) In recent years, a modernized version of peyote songs have been popularized by Verdell Primeaux , a Sioux , and Johnny Mike , a Navajo . SOURCE
