Synopsis

Amazon.com
With Taos Tales, Robert Mirabal aurally gives form, function, and sacred breath to the commanding vision and essence of the magnificent Taos Valley. Flute, strings, and keyboard reflect the wide blue sky stretching over the high road into the town below. Percussion and samples capture the essence of the wind's spirit as it sculpts and buffets the rain-splashed earth. An atmospheric odyssey of history and myth, Taos Tales is splendid, humble, and vital. --Paige La Grone

CD Reviews

Beautiful and haunting
JanetPinAZ | Tucson, AZ USA | 04/09/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD was my very first exposure to Robert Mirabal about a year ago. It was recommended to me by a store clerk in Albuquerque New Mexico and it has since become my favorite piece of music. I also have all of Robert's other CD's, each one is beautiful in its own way. Taos Tales are the stories Robert grew up listening to at his home on the pueblo in Taos, New Mexico, where he still lives today. The music is haunting and beautiful and "Popay Runner" in particular touches me inside in ways I cannot fully express or even understand. Although only one song, "Skinwalker's Moon" is in english, my heart still understands the rest of the songs, even though my brain doesn't know the words..... does that make any sense? If you give this CD a chance, you will understand what I mean. Robert has the extraordinary ability to reach out and touch your soul and move you in unexplainable ways.... IF you let him. Open your heart when you put this CD on, and Robert will open your soul."
Mirabal shows his soul on this album
John Tiernan | Columbia. MO | 12/04/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Mirabal seems to get more in touch with his roots on this album. The album gives the feeling of visiting Taos Pueblo and hearing some of the old stories from his people. He sings parts in Tiwa, his native tongue, and combined with the music he honors his tribe and his heritage. For me, this is Mirabal showing what is deep inside his heart."

"Robert Mirabal is an exceptional artist. The stories he tells in his music and songs are wonderfully portrayed. The tunes that he creates is very relaxing and sothing."
