This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the Music From A Painted Cave album by Robert Mirabal. Taos Tales was released on Silverwave Inc. from Boulder, Colorado in 2001.
Native American Indian musician/storyteller Robert Mirabal from Taos, New Mexico releases a folk album filled with Native American Indian tales of the past with some foreshadowing the future. The words in song, chant, and music are spoken in his Tiwa language. Stories from the land of Pueblos better known as Taos, New Mexico are filled with exciting, haunting, and spirited tales. The musical setting is filled with a powerful ensemble of powerful percussion, cellos, folk guitars, and Native flute.
Painted Caves tell us spirited stories of the past of Native American Indian culture. Particularly Taos and Pueblo culture in this coming case. The tales inside Painted Caves could be haunted. The ancient Anasazi petroglyph makers and painters told their stories through their own art. Stories of legends and prophecies are told in this folklore.
The Dance is a rain dance song hence the title. All American Indian cultures have some form of dance. Every tribe inside of Native American Indian culture has some form of rain dance. Heavy hitting powerful percussion is used in The Rain Dance. This song is a nuclear prophecy as described by Robert Mirabal himself.
Ee-You-Oo was a tribal song that was handed down from person to person. Ee-You-Oo is a Spanish melody with a flamenco gypsy flair added with English cellos. However it has more of a Spanish flavor to it.
The Flute Song is the best flute song on the album. The Flute Song is dedicated to all hardcore Robert Mirabal fans. The Flute Song is a Native American Indian flute song based off on Native American Indian culture. Particularly Taos and Pueblo culture in this coming case. Also, Flute Song is a tribal song.
I rate this album, Taos Tales, 5/5*****!!
