Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Traditional & Inovative at Once This a a remarkable recording! Valerie Dee Naranjo combines the beauty & simplicity of traditional chants with contemporary arrangements of classical subtlety. It is refreshing to hear a musician who is a percussion virtuoso compose & play with restraint & a constant understanding of the color & tone of her instruments. This mastery reflects her deep understanding of traditional tribal music of America & Africa. In addition to the amazing percussion work, Ms. Naranjo sings & chants with a distinctive & powerful voice. The combination of percussion & solo voice rarely works as well as it does here! Just two other qualities among many fine ones to note...I suspect that Ms. Naranjo has learned a thing or two from the insect world (!) & some of the arrangements feature beautiful flute work by Jorge' Alfano. I couldn't recommend this disc too much! Rating: - Wonderful Native American Music from a Fabulous Musician I love this CD, and am now a big fan of Valerie Dee Naranjo, a musician of many talents, ranging from her traditional Native American heritage to her spending much time in Africa learning traditional instruments there. This CD is a collection of Native American "comfort" and "social" songs designed to lift your spirits and help you feel balanced and aligned again. Highly recommended!
