Various Artists - Tribal Waters: Music from Native Americans

Another in Earthbeat!'s Tribal Collection series, Tribal Waters is a marriage of contemporary and traditional sound. It's a celebratory synthesis, bringing together nature sounds, bells, spoken word, chant, drumming, horns, flute, and keyboards. Presented by artists of multiple tribes (largely from the western United States), each song is a meditation and prayer, a call for mindfulness. Tribal Waters as a whole is like a river running through all terrain, weather, depth, and velocity. It can be enjoyed as a centering touchstone as the listener allows the sound to unwind and heal while he or she is bathed in beauty. This collection is a reminder of our connection to one another as well as to the earth, and of the great reverence we must hold for that which sustains us. --Paige La Grone Amazon.com

Excellent Native CD!

I just love listening to this Native American CD with various Natives singing in their native languages! Its sounds so spiritual and inspirational just listening to my Native American people sing!! I recommend this CD for my fellow Native brothers and sisters or for anyone who loves listening to Native music. May 19, 2008

The Soul is in the Music

A great collection of pieces for those interested in Native American music and its influences. I play it at work constantly. September 4, 2007

More music, less talk

I buy CDs like these (Native American flute and drum) for the music. I find it very soothing when I want to relax or as background music at small get-togethers. On this CD somewhere towards the end of the first track or maybe the middle of the second track, a man begins giving a speech or maybe a sermon about clean water and how soon we won't have any, yadda, yadda, yadda. It's not that I'm insensitive to the serious current threats to our environment. But I thought I was buying soft music to relax to. January 3, 2007

not what I expected

Based on other reviews, and my love of many Native American recordings, I thought I would love this CD. I was wrong. Just not my style. Next time I'm definitely going to have to listen to the tracks before I buy. A few of the songs are nice, but most just not what I like. May 18, 2006
