Amazon.com essential recording

Nineteen eighty-seven's Sundance Season was released at the height of Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai's creative powers and is the first of two recordings done at Lindisfarne Mountain Retreat in Colorado (the other being Desert Dance). While Desert Dance is a solid representation of Nakai's diverse talents, Sundance Season emits a more inspired, alive energy, perhaps due to the Sun Dance festival that took place near Lindisfarne during recording time. Nakai's flute meditations on this collection emote relaxing, centered prayer while his chant and gentle, low drumming seamlessly blend in an added ancient dimension. Particular standouts include "White Shell Dreams" with its cleansing sounds of a fresh rain shower and the Tibetan bell on "Ritual I" and "Ritual II," uniquely bringing forth a peaceful awakening. The solo on the eagle-bone whistle mixed with Nakai's lovely baritone voice provide a pure, golden finish. One of Nakai's best. --Karen Karleski

Album Description

The Sun Dance ritual is the subject for R. Carlos Nakai's Sundance Season. The Sun Dance celebrates and honors man's relationship with Mother Earth. Nakai explains that tribal dancers in the ritual are encouraged to concentrate on their reasons for dancing and to meditate on the orderliness of life. Nakai's original melodies arise from the themes of the sacred traditions: On Eagle's Wings, (meditations on the scintillating flight of the golden eagle), Light Waves, (recurring phenomenon of light refracting through water droplets, manifesting as rainbow paths), and Water Bearer (reaffirming the essence of life upon this small dust speck orbiting a very small star). The inspired playing by Nakai of the wooden flute, together with vocal chanting, drumming, and the lonely sound of the eagle bone whistle, brings to life this celebration of creation.

5 out of 5 stars Carlos Nakai - Sundance Season CD.......2007-01-30

This was a replacement CD...we completely wore out our first one. My husband turns it on every night when he goes to bed. We have a second one that we keep in the Jeep to listen to when we are riding through the Smoky Mountains. It is a wonderful CD and I recommend it to everyone who enjoys Native American music!

5 out of 5 stars Sacred Music.......2006-05-26

This is music of an entirely different level from almost everything that one hears in the modern world. In a sense it is more prayer than music. You stop, you listen, you begin to contemplate sacred things. This is appropriate, since the underlieing theme is the great ritual of the Sun Dance. This is music to cross between the worlds.

Carlos Nakai is the finest master of the traditional Native American flute that I have ever heard. He is almost supernaturally good. Yet, somehow the accoustics of the Lindisfarne Chapel manages to make him sound even better than usual.

5 out of 5 stars Still love this album..........2002-03-17

I had a copy of this recording nearly 15 years ago and ran across it again recently. I still find it to be one of R. Carlos Nakai's best recordings.

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful.......2001-03-28

Es una buena demostración de la música indígena americana, en manos de su principal exponente. Sin embargo, tiende a tornarse repetitivo en oportunidades. Buen disco. Sin embargo recomiendo fuertemente su colaboración con Peter Kater, como las obras maestra de Nakai.
