Music of Native America

We have three new CDs to add to our collection of Native American and Hawaiian Native music.

The first of these - Sanctuary - is from perennial favorite R. Carlos Nakai. A multi-Grammy nominee, Nakai plays Native American flute music with a modern interpretation. His haunting melodies have been widely praised.

Nominated for a Native American Music Award (Nammy), Indian Summer is the newest release from the group Redheart. Redheart is led by Navajo flutist Vince Redhouse and includes guitars, keyboards and a variety of percussion.

The final CD is Tradition - a compilation album of various Inuit groups from Canada and Alaska. These performances showcase the traditional throat singing and percussion from the far Northern tribes.

If you are a fan of Native American music, or if you would like to sample something new, then browse through our collection of indigenous musicians.
