"I was on a cruise in Alaska with my family when we got off the boat in Ketchikan. I heard this panflute in the distance, almost like a whisper floating on a breeze, and sought it out. Standing in front of the "touristy" stores was this group of men and one boy playing this incredible flute, drum and recorder music. I bought their CD right then and there and it's the very first CD that I have ever WORN OUT! If you need to relax, you will L-O-V-E this CD and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I am so glad Amazon carries it since my first one finally got to the point I could not play it any longer."

This band gets around!

"I was amazed to read another review on this album, saying these guys were spotted in Alaska! I live in SoCal and have seen them everywhere. I first saw them play at the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. I was absolutely enchanted. I bought Reflections there. It was wonderful to see people in the streets dancing to this inspiring music. You can't resist moving your feet and clapping your hands when you hear them play. I saw them again at a the Fairplex in Pamona. I also randomly spotted them in San Diego on a day trip. They really get around!It's hard for me to put my finger on why this music is so infectious. There is something about Andean instruments -- they have such an emotional voice. I listen to this music when I'm writing, when I need relaxation, when I am tired of the world and need to hear a joyful harmony... it enlivens me, and just about everyone who hears it.This is the purest form of musical beauty."
