This collection of traditional and new melodies for solo Native American flute continues R. Carlos Nakai’s exploration of this expressive instrument. Returning to traditional roots, he presents eleven arrangements of Zuni, Lakota, Kiowa and Cheyenne melodies along with seven original compositions and a work by composer by James DeMars. Nakai beautifully demonstrates the haunting simplicity and evocative magic of the traditional flute.Amazon.com essential recording
Nakai’s most recent outing finds him returning once again to the simple under-produced style that he pioneered on Changes. This program includes 10 traditional tunes from the Kiowa, Lakota, Dakota, Zuni, and Cheyenne; seven of his own compositions; and “Lake That Speaks,” from the second movement of James DeMars’s “Two World Concerto.” On this album the Native melodies sound forceful, almost triumphant, partially due to the short, staccato bursts that Nakai often uses to begin a melodic line–sounds that bring to mind a child’s laughter or the contented chirping of a dawn bird. For the Cheyenne “Victory Song” and the Dakota/Lakota melody “The Great Mystery Hears Me” Nakai uses more sustained notes than usual, and the clear, piercing tone of his flute illuminates the heart like a ray of midday sunshine. –j. poet

Music from a Painted Cave is the live concert recording from the like-named PBS television special. Here, composer, flautist, and vocalist Robert Mirabal joins up with the soulfully skilled band he calls the Rare Tribal Mob. Together, they move into an exciting musical territory where traditional native music seamlessly fuses with tasteful acoustic rock. Mirabal and the Mob perform just over an hour of music, including both new songs and reinterpretations of older favorites such as “Medicine Man” and “Painted Caves,” both of which appear on the stellar Taos Tales. Cello, guitars, bass, and percussion weave a solid, challenging, and engaging web in which Mirabal’s deceptively simple songs grow particularly powerful. Innovative and magical, Music from a Painted Cave invites the listener to engage in a sonic celebration of native culture. –Paige La Grone

Album Description
Native American music is remarkably disparate and varied with tribal backgrounds and regional and climatic distinctions augmenting the differences brought about in all of us by personal experience, taste and character. In this collision of sounds and styles however, a new impetus is emerging. Native Americans are reaffirming the music they have inherited. Native American creativity not only perseveres but thrives. Artists include: Rita Coolidge, Sharon Burch, the Blackstone Singers, Robert Tree Cody, Bill Miller, The Garcia Brothers and Chester Mahooty

Another in Earthbeat!’s Tribal Collection series, Tribal Waters is a marriage of contemporary and traditional sound. It’s a celebratory synthesis, bringing together nature sounds, bells, spoken word, chant, drumming, horns, flute, and keyboards. Presented by artists of multiple tribes (largely from the western United States), each song is a meditation and prayer, a call for mindfulness. Tribal Waters as a whole is like a river running through all terrain, weather, depth, and velocity. It can be enjoyed as a centering touchstone as the listener allows the sound to unwind and heal while he or she is bathed in beauty. This collection is a reminder of our connection to one another as well as to the earth, and of the great reverence we must hold for that which sustains us. –Paige La Grone
