Emergence
Artist: R. Carlos Nakai
Tribe: Dine/Ute

This early recording of Carlos Nakai is the best representation of Nakai’s concert performance for the solo cedar flute beginning with renditions of traditional melodies from the Plains and Nakai’s own works in the traditional style. Rainbow World is an ancient tribal chant. Closes with an ethereal rendition of Amazing Grace that is simply, well, amazing. 15 tracks on this Carlos Nakai CD.
