In the game, the Tauren culture is an allusion to the North American Indians with all the inherent trappings such as wooden totems, feather headdresses and worship of the spirits of nature. The music was no exception, David Arkenstone did an excellent job highlighting the Indian atmosphere. The theme song around Thunder Bluff in the tauren home valley is one of my favorites in World of Warcraft, and I tried to play it as close to the original as possible with pimak (Indian flute), shaman tambourine, djembe and maracas.
