Product Description
R. Carlos Nakai’s first recording and still a favorite. Fifteen solo songs of pure, soothing Native American flute music including renditions of Zuni, Blood and Lakota melodies along with Nakai’s own impressionistic melodies inspired by his travels throughout North America.Amazon.com essential recording
Nakai’s first recording of Native flute music, originally released in a limited edition of 250 cassettes, taps into something deeply spiritual in the human psyche. There are traditional Native songs from the Zuni, Lakota, and Blood tribes, but most of the material is original, inspired by Nakai’s travels throughout the Southwest. The tone of Nakai’s flute is always full and warm; it caresses your ears like the memory of a summer breeze. Yet despite the measured tempos and the pastoral mood, there is an energetic quality to the improvisations that makes the heart want to spread its wings and take flight. Nakai’s success shows once again how powerful simple, folk-based melodies can be when they’re played by a master musician. –j. poet

The samples left me wanting more. I appreciate the tonal quality of the flute used, and guessing, I would say this flute has been blessed, or the artist has been blessed.

I got the CD to replace a tape I purchased on my first trip out to Santa Fe, New Mexico in the mid-eighties. It was my introduction to Nakai’s beautiful Native American flute music and I have loved it and used it in my classes teaching people how to pinch clay forms ever since.
I love the music and hope the CD holds up as long as the tape did.
