Album Notes

Marina Raye's hauntingly beautiful native flutes echo the ancient call of the wild in a deeply moving journey of the spirit. Native flutes blend with the sounds of nature, native drumming, rattles, and rainstick, with keyboard accents, in a richly textured harmony of ancient and modern sounds.

Marina Raye is world-renowned as the "Feminine Voice of the Native Flute". What makes her original compositions so special is their deeply emotive quality which celebrates the essence of peace and harmony. Marina's music is used by many in the healing professions to invoke a state of tranquility and a sense of closeness to nature. Marina was born in Africa where she spent her first ten years. She draws inspiration from her deep love for the Earth as she shares her vision of the awakening of peace in every heart. Trained as a classical musician, Marina has been called a sonic shaman because of her mastery of the native flute. Her instruments are hand-crafted by her husband, flutemaker Charlie Oakwind. Marina and Charlie live in western North Carolina, where they are building a solar-powered home. They are committed to living gently on the Earth.
