Album Notes

O-siyo, unali-i(greetings, friends)! My name is Reginald J. Solomon a.k.a. Wodige Wehali (Browneagle). Of African and Cherokee descent, I am a composer, singer/songwriter, musician, storyteller, videographer, photographer, and graphics artist. My music can be best described as eclectic, ranging from Native American-inspired to contemporary R&B, with some blues, rock, techno and world beat thrown into the mix. MOUNTAIN FLUTESONGS represents my more Native American side, with Native flute, acoustic guitar, piano and ocassional vocals. It tells a story, the story of the Cherokee, and hopefully provides sonic healing to all with open ears. My video for one of the tracks, the haunting "Coyote Music", won a MAGA Film Festival award. My music has been featured in several independent Native American educational videos, including ones produced by John "Wind" Surridge (Lakota). I have performed with other Native American and African artists such as Joseph and Laralyn Riverwind of The Blessed Blend (of Taino and Cherokee-Scottish heritages respectively), and Obisi Adeleke of Nigeria. I am a member of the Contemporary Arts Exchange in Macon, GA, and run a private studio christened The Gray Room where I record and put on shows & musical programs, and host jam sessions. I want to share the gifts the Great Spirit bestowed upon me, and help bring together musicians of all cultures. To me, that's what it's all about! Dohiyi (peace)!
