Prayers on the Wind: Native American & Silver Flutes - CD

2018 release. Award-winning sound healing pioneer, Dean Evenson, teams up with Native American flute virtuoso, Peter Ali, to create these stunning duets harmoniously blending silver flute and wooden flutes of different tribes and cultures. Delicate natural sounds of eagles, song birds, and ocean waves enhance this compelling musical journey flowing through many worlds. In these flute collaborations, Peter Ali would choose one of his flutes and begin playing. Dean Evenson would then match the key and play along. Their improvised compositions became the soundtrack for these beautiful musical dialogs. The mood and feeling of each piece was determined by the nature of the wooden flute as well as the interactive creativity of the musicians themselves. Peter Ali comes from a unique blending of cultures. His mother is from Sonora Mexico and is of Mayan, Pima Indian, and southern European descent. His father is of Berber descent from Morocco, North Africa. After many years of flute playing, Peter discovered that his paternal grandfather had also played the traditional Ney flute for ceremonies and gatherings. Review: "The healing flute played by Dean Evenson is incredibly soothing... Pure bliss! Dean writes some of the most soothing, most healing music on the planet. I have several of his CDs and never tire listening to the tranquil melodies he creates. Whether or not you meditate, do yoga, or just enjoy pure tranquil melodic melodies, you owe it to yourself to become a collector of this wonderful composer, musician!!"
