Mixerr Album Reviews #928

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Robert Mirabal - Mirabal.

Hope is a dance song. Robert Mirabal is driving down Manitou Road where the Seminoles are shaking shell on dance grounds. It was a manifestation. Its a dance song unlike no other. The Dance is a dance of hope. The Dance is a dance of hope, love, peace, and happiness in Native American Indian culture.

Witch Hunt speaks of witch hunts for the past. Witch Hunt exposes the fear of Wiccan culture. Wiccan earth-based that were destroyed by fear from man-written patriarchal concepts in beliefs. Have we really evolved? We still are involved with these so called "witch hunts".

Robert Mirabal did his research on vocals mostly concentrated on a cappella singing styles of the Southwest regional tribes in Native American music when writing the song An Kah Na. He composed this modern song with those same qualities. The unique vocal chant honors the mother. The vocal chant is what makes this song unique. Robert had used his native Tiwa language in the song to keep culturally correct. An Kah Na in the Tiwa language translates to 'mother' in English.

I rate this album, Mirabal, 4/5****!
