The Purple Spirit Singers is a group of male traditional Indigenous singers, led by Brandon Barberstock of the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, who sing in various drum styles (see Pow Wow Singers, Hand Drum Singers, Round Dance Singers, etc.). This group originally formed when a collective of Indigenous students studying at Western University (London, On.) decided that they wanted to create a group to share songs, teachings, and positive energy within the group and throughout the community. The name translates from English into Anishinaabemowin as Zhoomin-Innande Manitou Negamowaad - meaning Purple Spirit Singers.
