"The Native flute

Speaks direct to your soul

It's godlike gift



What unites Golana's "First Light" and Mary Youngblood's "Sacred Place" albums? In the first place both of these CDs are collections of the best compositions. And both artists are outstanding Native American flutists. Each of them has unique style of performing but both artists create real magic putting their entire souls into the music.



Golana's and Mary Youngblood's flute melodies penetrate the heart with their frankness and purity of emotions. And so much beauty is in the artists music! This is straight, heart to heart conversation. Golana's and Mary Youngblood's music turns the listener toward his own inner world. It lets him release secret feelings and to realize his innermost desires.



Both CD collections have first class sounding. The listener can sense the smallest nuances of yearning or joy, longing or solitude, meditation or carefree dance which both flutists express by such simple and, at the same time, incredibly multi-sided instrument.



Golana and Mary Youngblood's Native American flute music is very old but always fresh.
