Founded in 1987, Ulali is the first Native women's group to create their own sound from their strong traditional roots and personal contemporary styles. They have created a new genre of Native Music and inspired the creation of other Native women's groups. Known for their unusual harmonies and wide vocal and musical range, Ulali's sound encompasses an array of indigenous music including southeast choral singing (pre-blues and gospel) and pre-Colombian (before the borders) music. With their beautiful yearning and powerful voices, they drum, rattle and stomp. Breaking the stereotypes of Native women, Ulali is political, romantic, and humorous. Their live performances, which uniquely address Native struggles and accomplishments, are energetic, and informative.

Ulali has traveled extensively throughout the US., Canada, and abroad performing at venues like Woodstock 94, the 1996 and the 2002 Olympics , the 1997 Smithsonian's Folkways 50th Anniversary Gala at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, the 1998 WOMAD Festival in Seattle, the 1998 and 2001 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festivals, the 1999 World Festival of Sacred Music at the Hollywood Bowl, Red Solstice 2000 in Montreal, the Britt Festival 2000 in Oregon, V Day 2001 at Madison Square Garden, and a wide range of other venues, benefit performances, and festivals. They have performed abroad in Germany, Italy, Brazil, Corsica, Portugal and Japan.
