Culture Break: Robert MirabaI: The Dance

I ran across Robert Mirabal many years ago, when I was investigating American Indian music. He was, at that time, a noted flute player. He went on to move into a more pop/rock oriented mode, but still with strong roots in tradition. This is more or less in that mode:

I'm always impressed by the way traditional musicians from any number of cultures can adopt and adapt Western pop modes to their music without losing the sense of the original tradition.
