Creation's Journey: Native American Music

by NATIVE AMERICAN MUSIC

Overview

This excellent disc is notable not only for its breadth but also for the outstanding quality of the recordings. While not every nation is represented, the variety of musical forms shatters the popular conception that Native American music is "primitive." ~ Tim Sheridan
