Customer Reviews:

Will Putumayo return to Native American music?.......2006-06-15

When Putumayo launched its odyssey series,its first couple of tries weren't the best.I give them the benefit of the doubt.They were newcomers to world music,and one of the first world music labels.

This album has some highlights-Jaramar has a haunting song about the mystical turtle,Marlui Miranda has talent,Tudjaat is enchanting,and Andrew Vasquez,Bill Miller&Burning Sky meld Native American traditions with contemporary folk.The rest is quite repetitive (the same problem I had with "Cairo to Casablanca:A North African Odyssey")

I'm surprised this album is still in print.While Putumayo still explores Latin American&Brazilian music,it's too bad it hasn't gone back to Native American music in the interim.Perhaps some time in the future.I hope they go back to this genre;there's plenty to listen to!It's not just Carlos Nakai.

Great!.......2002-08-08

Excellent way to get turned on to many new artists at once. Not a dud on the CD. : )

Simply excellent.......2002-03-10

Didn't know quite what to expect and bought it just to see. The music is very varied and original. Some very beautiful pieces in diverse languages. Highly recommended.

A Real Jewel.......2002-01-07

Let me tell you, this is a real jewel. It is an excellent introduction to the contemporary music of Native America, or a great addition to your collection if your interested. One of the great things about this is that it takes Native American music from across both continents. Too often I've seen Native American music CDs that ignore Latin American Indians completely. This one is an excellent break from that and includes Native American musicians from almost every region, ranging from Alaska and Canada, into the United States, down to Mexico, into the Amazon and over to the Andes.
The musicians on this album are all top notch. Among them, include legendary flutist Bill Miller, Marlui Miranda, who incorporates Amazonian tribal music with modern music, the hauntingly beautiful duo of Tudjaat and the Incan pan pipes of Bolivia Manta. Most of the songs, such as "Vale do Jauari", "Akua Tuta", "Nendaa - Go Back", and "Ni'bixi dxi Zina", have a wonderful ephemeral sound to them. Simply breath taking. I cannot over emphasize how wonderful this CD is.

Mellow.......1999-12-25

I bought this CD antiscipating another "Sacred Spirit" album but what it lacks in intensity it makes up for in diversity. The style is more Joanne Shenandoah with soft country than flute and drum music. What is important about this album is how it is an authentic synergie of the western influence upon indigenous peoples lives. It may not appeal to purists who are expecting the fiery vocals of defiance from "Sacred Spirit" because most of the songs from the North American Native peoples are sung in English on this album However it has its own quiet dignity none the less.
