Album Notes & Community Reviews

The album pairs the Native American flute of R. Carlos Nakai with the Tibetan flute and chant of Nawang Khechog, a former monk, across four pieces of exactly equal length. Peter Kater produced and arranged the sessions, with David Darling on cello and Chris White among the vocalists, and the record spent eighteen weeks on the American charts.
