Description
Regarded as the world’s foremost Native American flutist, R. Carlos Nakai (1946- ) was among the first to meld the ancestral sounds of his Navajo-Ute heritage with contemporary music and electronic instrumentation. He has sold millions of records since the 1980s and is widely regarded as a pioneer in the new age and contemporary instrumental genres. Most of his music evokes the spirit of tribal history and culture, as well as desert landscapes, with new age elements. Note: Class start time is 10:30.
