Counting Coup

A drum and bass track incorporating an assortment of native drums and shakers as an underlying bed. A good uptempo track for when you are on the warpath.

Story behind the song
Among the First Nations tribes of the plains, much of a young man's tribal standing depended on his conduct in war. Individual acts of courage and daring (such as stealing the horses of an enemy or killing the enemy in combat) earned praise and prestige. True glory was reserved for those who touched a living enemy (customarily with a small stick) without killing him and returned to brag about it. The warrior would return home to tell of his acts of bravery and strike a pole with his coup stick each time he recounted an act of courage. This was known as 'counting coup'.
