Music from a Painted Cave
Music from a Painted Caveis the live concert recording  from the like-named PBS television special. Here, composer, flautist,  and vocalist Robert Mirabal joins up with the soulfully skilled band he  calls the Rare Tribal Mob. Together, they move into an exciting musical  territory where traditional native music seamlessly fuses with tasteful  acoustic rock. Mirabal and the Mob perform just over an hour of music,  including both new songs and reinterpretations of older favorites such  as "Medicine Man" and "Painted Caves," both of which appear on the  stellarTaos  Tales. Cello, guitars, bass, and percussion weave a solid,  challenging, and engaging web in which Mirabal's deceptively simple  songs grow particularly powerful. Innovative and magical,Music from  a Painted Caveinvites the listener to engage in a sonic  celebration of native culture.--Paige La Grone
