Osiyo! Tired of that same old, new age "pow-wow the indian boy" type of native american flute music - what I call "Indian Light"? Tribal Fires is Electric with the power of contemporary Native American artists from many traditions, and moves you from one energizing piece to another. You can feel the air move through your eagle feathers as you soar through mountain passes with the heartbeat of the Mother's drum in your ears, only to find yourself stirring the smog between skyscrapers where taxi horns intermingle with ancient chants. Music which honors our ancestors, our nation and our power... this recording will have you bouncing in front of your computer, even late into the afternoon!

This is a collection of previously published songs. Some of it is the typical New Agey sacarin from the likes of Walela and Shenandoah. Pee-yoo. Some of it is truly marvelous. Lunar Drive is incredible, awesome, magnificent. I'd never heard of them and now I'm searching for anything else they've written. I feel so lucky to have found Joy Harjo - her work is touching, transcendant, traditional, and deeply meaningful. Songcatchers blew me away. The song by Robert Mirabal is a disappointment - get Indians Indians and hear his best.

Excellent, authentic, beautiful Tribal Waters and Voices are fantastic also, the others in the series are not near as good
