Originally trained in classical trumpet and music theory, R. Carlos Nakai was given a traditional cedar wood flute as a gift and challenged to see what he could do with it. Since his debut in 1983, he has released over forty albums and received nine GRAMMY nominations. Nakai's performance will follow a discussion about his exploration of new musical settings and about his desire to communicate a sense of Native American culture that transcends common stereotypes.

Description

Of Navajo-Ute heritage, R. Carlos Nakai is the world's premier performer of the Native American flute. Since 1983, he has released over 35 albums on the Canyon label. In addition to his solo appearances throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan, Nakai has worked with guitarist William Eaton, flutist Paul Horn, composers James DeMars and Phillip Glass and various symphony orchestras. 

While well-grounded in the traditional uses of the flute, Nakai has explored new musical settings including new age, world-beat, jazz and classical. His cross-cultural collaborations have included an album with the Wind Travelin' Band, a Japanese folk ensemble and Tibetan flutist and singer Nawang Khechog on several productions including In a Distant Place. Nakai has earned two gold records for Canyon Trilogy and Earth Spirit and has received nine GRAMMY nominations.
