Description:
Lone Pine Canyon, the fifth release from Golaná, finds this innovative master of the Native American flute stretching the boundaries of his meditative, nature inspired music. Created amidst the beauty of the Angeles National Forest, Lone Pine Canyon features eleven compositions, including stunningly beautiful re-settings of two classical works, with strings, guitar, piano and percussion accompanying Golanás entrancing flute stylings.
Biography:
Golaná's music uplifts, inspires and expresses a reverence for the Earth and all of humanity. Golaná, whose name means “Raven”, is of Cherokee descent. He calls himself a “rock sitter” and composes while he’s out in nature in such pristine settings as the Sierras, Joshua Tree and Sedona.
“The natural world has always been a big part of my life. I always loved the outdoors” says Golaná (a.k.a Scott Cunningham). “In the late 80’s, I moved from the ocean to a house on four acres of land and began my mountain and desert phase. About this time, I began exploring my Native American roots.”
“I took wilderness and nature classes and spent long hours alone in the outdoors but didn’t really find myself until I picked up the flute.”
“When I connected to the Creative Spirit, music poured through me evoking some long-forgotten memories. It was as though I became one with my instrument and the flute became my voice.”
Golaná's solo play focuses on the therapeutic and restorative powers of Native American flute music.
“When I sit quietly in nature something magical happens, and when I ask the Creator to play through me, soothing melodies flow forth and I'm filled with a sense of peace.”
Golaná is a member of the Bear River Band of the Southern Cherokee Nation, and a gifted composer and interpreter of the Native American and contemporary flute.
