Nakai, R. CarlosOf Navajo-Ute heritage, R. Carlos Nakai is the world's premier performer of the Native American flute. Originally trained in classical trumpet and music theory, Nakai was given a traditional cedar wood flute as a gift and challenged to see what he could do with it. In addition to his solo appearances throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan, Nakai has worked with guitarist William Eaton, pianist Peter Kater, the classical ensemble Tos and various symphonies, founded the ethnic jazz ensemble, Jackalope, and released an album, "Island of Bows," with Wind Travelin' Band, a traditional Japanese ensemble from Kyoto. In 1994 his third collaboration with Eaton, "Ancestral Voices," was a Grammy® Awards finalist in Best Traditional Folk Music. Nakai earned a Master's Degree in American Indian Studies from the University of Arizona. He won the 1997 Native American Music Award for Best Flutist and Best Male Artist. |
