The heartful flute music of Carlos Nakai
Carlos Nakai is considered by many of my colleagues, including me, to be one of the most soulful players of the Native American Flute. For those of you who play in climates where the heat and humidity can impact your flutes, I encourage you to purchase a durable, affordable, easily transported PVC flutes made by Ken Light, owner of Amorin Olorin Flutes. Carlos Nakai's workshops may be sourced at available at aoflutes.com. Carlos Nakai's Native American flute music is hauntingly beautiful when played using the PCV flutes in a sweat lodge.
