Review: Ancestral Voices

18-tracks of pure bliss, Ancestral Voices is meditative, yet interesting with a gentle twist around every corner.  This album lifts me up any time I put it on ... and I have noticed that it does this to others too.  Soothing, spiritual and uplifting, Ancestral Voices is an album that pretty much anyone will appreciate. 

Traditional Folk Musician R.Carlos Nakai and guitarist William Eaton unite in resonance, along with the Black Lodge Singers, creating a unique album in celebration of  the rich traditions of the peoples of the Americas. Both Nakai and Eaton are celebrated musicians across the globe.  Their music together transcends time and cultural boundaries ... musical luminaries leading the way with lanterns held high.

The rich and dynamic landscape of tracks, create visions of the Earth in harmony with my heart ... beating to the sounds of inspired and guided musicians, whose instruments speak the language of the ancestral voice.

Timeless ...
