James Marienthal has created a stunningly beautiful instrumental medley focusing on two popular songs previously recorded by renowned Native American vocalist Joanne Shenandoah. This compelling original arrangement is played on Native American flute, with percussion and lovely vocal accompaniment, echoing Shenandoah’s angelic voice.
Shenandoah sadly passed away in November of 2021 at the age of 64. She was one of the most highly acclaimed Native American recording artists of all time, with dozens of awards including a GRAMMY nomination, a NAMA Lifetime Achievement Award, and induction into the Native American Music Hall of Fame.
This is Marienthal’s heartfelt tribute to her magnificent artistry and also honors her powerful presence that still lives on in this world in the hearts of her millions of fans.
Based in Boulder, CO, James Marienthal’s previous full album release: Speak to the Sky was described by the Boulder Daily Camera as “a stirring collection of auditory bliss”, and we here on New Age Music Guide acclaimed it as “one of 2020’s finest meditation albums, just when the world needed it the most.”
The album reached the top 10 on five different radio charts. His music has been acclaimed by The World Flute Society as “Extraordinary music… ethereal, spiritual, meditative, and absolutely amazing”.
