5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely First Rate!!! Exactly what I was looking for!, December 29, 2001

This review is from: Mawio'Mi (Audio CD)

I can't say enough good things about this CD. It was the precise blend of good rock and American Indian music I was looking for. I've never found another CD of this kind of music...let alone one that is this excellent. In a culture where everyone has an opinion about what a "real" Indian is, the "real Indians" that make up Mawio'mi give us an aural insight into what Indians really are. They are human beings like the rest of us with hopes, dreams, pains, heartaches, and longings for the future.

This cd is such a feast for the heart. It lets out your pain and sings and dances you through it. It's like a massage for your heart and spirit.

And if it is relevant to any of you reading this, I am Choctaw and Irish. Oh, and my 65 y.o. mother loves this as much as I do. Don't hesitate to put your money out for this one. You won't be sorry.
