INSIDE MONUMENT VALLEY BY R. CARLOS NAKAI & PAUL HORN
Flutists R. Carlos Nakai and Paul Horn take listeners on a musical exploration inside and around Monument Valley, deep in the land of the Navajo. With the towering spires and sky framing canyons of Monument Valley as their stage, the two create music that is at once intimate and majestic. Wind, thunder, bird song, the keening of falcons and even the raucous cries of curious ravens provide counterpoint to the twenty soaring melodies of their flutes reverberating through ancient canyons. This album beautifully displays the haunting tone of Nakai's traditional Native American flute and the lyrical grace of Horn's transverse flutes.
