Reviews:
'Robert Mirabal was incredible. He put on a show with Native dancers, and his heart is absolutely in everything he's doing.' -Billboard Magazine
'Mirabal's performance was no mere concert. It was an event... Fabulous. Exciting. Bravo!' -Green Bay Press Gazette
Description:
The exciting and dynamic live concert recording from the nationally broadcast PBS-TV Special features new songs and fresh versions of Robert Mirabal's greatest hits in a stunning live performance by this talented singer, flutist and percussionist.
'I'm very much a part of two different worlds,' says Mirabal who still makes his home at the Taos Pueblo outside of Taos, New Mexico. 'There is the Native culture that's my heritage and the rock & roll culture I grew up with. They are both part of who I am and one of the primary goals of my music is to express that combination.'
Mirabal's band, Rare Tribal Mob, includes: Robert Mirabal - vocals, flutes, ocarina, percussion, didgeridoo; Reynaldo Lujan - tribal rhythms, vocals; Michael Kott - cello; Stev Castillo - guitars; Kenny Aronoff - (John Mellencamp) drums, percussion; Star Nayea - vocals, percussion; Robin Peffer - Bass and Patrick Mirabal - vocals, flutes, percussion
Biography:
There's always a flute player in every tribe. I never would have guessed it at the time, but I've become that flute player. The tribe is the Taos Pueblo. The time was when Robert was 18 and he encountered for the first time, the Native American flute. Now, his handcrafted flutes are in the Smithsonian National Museum.
From the powwow auction where he saw that first flute, to Japan, England and all the world, Robert plays with the noble purpose of honoring the land, his family, his ancestors and his tribe who have occupied the same area of Northern New Mexico for over a thousand years. While deeply aware of his heritage, Robert looks at the responsibility universally: I offer my work as a healing for the human spirit and a rememberence of why we are all here together.
In addition to the music and instruments he creates, Robert is also a celebrated painter, poet and playwright. He is the author of A Skeleton of a Bridge, a book of poetry, prose and short stories. He has lent his words and insights to several educational and documentary films, including two narrated by Robert Redford, Silent Witness and Sacred Sites. He is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Award and the New York Dance and Performer's Bessie Award for composition. Robert has also been named Songwriter of the Year twice in 1998 and again in 1999 at the annual Native American Music Awards.
