Anyone here like Native American music?

[Archae]

I like some NA music, and I just got some tracks of music from the Gamecube game, called "Starfox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet."

The background music when Fox is in "Thorntail Valley" sounds very much like Native American tunes.

I like it.

1. i dig ambient music w/ a NA flavor

r. carlos nokai is a name the spring to mind.

11. Yes, he is great. He plays the flute.

2. Hell yeah.

It was nice that Enigma gave a nod to it in a couple of their albums, there are a couple of great NA influenced tunes on the soundtrack for "Lost and Delirious", and the show Northern Exposure was full of it.

The only NA stuff I own though, is "Sacred Earth Drums" - David & Steve Gordon on the Sequoia label, and Mickey Hart's "Planet Drum".

3. Not only do I like NA music...

I also love their culture a lot. My great-grandmother was a Chippewa Indian, and my grandma tells me stories of her life that involved the culture.

4. There's this music group Art Bell used to promote.

Maybe he still does, I don't know.

But it was heavily NA-inspired music.

It doesn't get any better than "Keeping the Fire"
by Hawk Henries of Gouldsboro, Maine.

6. R. Carlos Nakai, Kevin Locke, Robbie Robinson...

A few others. Great music. Interesting sidenote-Kevin Locke is a practitioner of the Baha'i faith. I'm sure that disappoints the "plastic medicine man" bunch...

7. Robert Mirabal

is a NA flutist. I enjoy him immensely since I play the flute myself, though standard European version.

He has a website. It's under re-construction at the moment, but you can still learn a lot about him and order his records and performances. He even makes wood flutes by special order.

9. "Contact from the Underworld of Redboy"

is about as close as I come (Robbie Robertson). And I've heard some of the tracks pop up in the strangest places such the opening ceremony of the last Olympics.

10. I have some Native American tapes.

One is Drums Across The Atlanta by XIT. They are a real militant rock group. And also Russell Means' Electric Warrior. He is the head of AIM (the American Indian Movement). And if you are into rock by Native Americans, Tiger, Tiger are really good -- Lee and Stephen Tiger. They are Miccosukee Indians and also cousins from South Florida. They performed locally for a few years. I met Lee Tiger a few times when I lived down there. I'm not sure if they are recording anymore, but they were great performers.

12. I discovered this music on the Internet last year....

I listen to it while typing up notes for my studies......

13. Yes. I especially like the Andean Native music of

South America. Simon and Garfunkel made one of the indigenous pieces famous called, "El Condor Pasa", which they translated into English but kept the instrumental part authentic.
