		Called waila (WHY-la)--from the Spanish "baile," meaning social dance--by the Tohono O'odham, it's starting to scratch at the door of mainstream USA, as rapidly growing numbers of bands take their music from reservation-based parties to the retail shelves.
		Waila is essentially timeless, but as a clearly defined form it dates back to the 1860s, where Native American bands near Tucson played spinning, up-tempo numbers based primarily on acoustic fiddles and drums.
		As waila moves from the reservations to the neon suburbs of Phoenix and Tucson, modern influences are starting to show through the music's age-old exterior.

		The style is also called chicken scratch because of the spectacle presented by dancers: foot-dragging is de rigeur, and the shuffling sound is as much a part of waila as the band onstage.
		The main dances are the waila itself (a two-step polka), the chotis (in 4/4), the mazurka (played a s a fast waltz without the usual Polish endstop) and - most recently — the cumbia.
		At a traditional church feast, or piest, the waila can last from sundown to sunrise, with the band playing in a shelter adjoining a dance area decorated with ribbons.
