Nakai Inner Voices
Continuing with this month’s theme of accessing Native American wisdom, I’ve chosen one of my absolute favorite musicians. I can unequivocally say that any music you buy that has R. Carlos Nakai as one of the musicians, you will enjoy. This is one of those things in life I’ve learned that I know for sure. This is one of my favorite CDs and creates a great atmosphere for yoga.
Inner Voices
R. Carlos Nakai
Arrangements by Billy Williams
Inner Voices presents the haunting flute melodies of R. Carlos Nakai with the richness of a string ensemble in new arrangements of Nakai’s melodies. The evocative power of the traditional flute is enhanced by the lush harmonies of violin, viola, cello and double bass in arrangement by two-time Grammy Award winner, Billy Williams. Williams’ arrangements create a tranquil soundscape for the mellow tone of Nakai’s flute that takes the listener on a meditative and peaceful journey into the inner world of memory and dreams. The ten songs include eight melodies drawn from earlier albums plus a luminescent rendition of the eternally popular Amazing Grace. A haunting solo for bass traditional flute rounds out the album.
Total Time: 57:56
