FIRST FLUTE


first flute BY KEVIN LOCKE graphic Recorded outdoors at Sitting Bull's camp on the Standing Rock Lakota Reservation in South Dakota, this album has been described as "the ultimate presentation of American Indian flute, heard as it first was among the birds, wind, and waters of the Dakotas."  On the back cover of the CD is a photo of Kevin playing the flute before a microphone on a gravel bar of the Grand River where the Hunkpapa's great leader spent so many years and where the People prospered for generations. The blending of Kevin's music with river sounds and birds answering the melodies with songs of their own transports listeners to centuries past, while invoking the power of a vital, living and expanding tradition. Many of the selections were learned from field recordings produced on wax cylinders by ethnomusicologist Frances Densmore in the early 20th century, preserving the voices and poetry of traditional Lakota singers.

MIDNIGHT STRONG HEART BY KEVIN LOCKE

MIDNIGHT STRONG HEART YOU BY KEVIN LOCKE Kevin Locke (Lakota) is one of the world's foremost hoop dancers and players of the Highland Plains Flute, a regional instrument that he revived after it almost faded into obscurity. MIDNIGHT STRONG HEART showcases the beauty of the flute in a contemporary setting. Equal parts love song to the Lakota way of life and prayer of respect and thanksgiving, Locke's music honors the memories of his ancestors while pushing the boundaries of Native American fusion music. The arrangements consist of guitars, percussion, synthesized ambience, bass guitar and chant vocals, which provides the songs with hues of light jazz, new age, country and blues music.
