JOURNEYS OF THE FLUTE

Alice Gomez

with
Madalyn Blanchett & Marilyn Rife

Flutes, often playing in unison, take listeners on a unique journey tracing the migrations of Native people from the American Great Plains to the Andean mountains. Flutes are framed by a variety of instruments, including percussion, guitar and synthesizer.
