Torn From The Heart

Reseña del editor David Nighteagle draws upon his Lakota heritage to create songs that evoke the past and harken to the future. Songs for solo Native American flute intersperse songs for female voice, whose lyrics describe the gritty reality of Native American experience over the centuries. This album is a heart-felt expression of contemporary Native America. Críticas Get ready to have your own heart torn apart as you listen to this unabashed history of the decimation of the Native American people as told by a Lakota man raised by his grandfather to know the beauty of the old ways. You will hear of the pain and suffering endured by his ancestors and others forced off their lands and onto reservations in the America, the land of the free.And get ready for an exciting musical experience as Nighteagle's traditional flutes blend with the contemporary sound of Courtney Brooks guitar and searing vocals. The lyrics are sorrowful, melancholy and angry. And yet there is hope if those who have been displaced will sit up and take notice. Seeking to rectify the (politically correct) silence in the schools with respect to the tragic story of his people's uprooting, Nighteagle brings us face to face with the hardships endured by Native Americans all across the continent.In 'Soldiers Song', a white soldier tells the story of the destruction of the Cherokee Nation when the Indian Removal Act forced them to march from their Tennessee homeland to lands west of the Mississippi. Another cut that hit me particularly hard celebrates the dream of the ghost dance for the banishment of the white man and the return of the buffalo and a life-style long gone. As Nighteagle says, I believe you cannot change the future if you do not know the past. Listen to the music and help change the future.At once a musical history lesson, a call to create a future free from the pain of the past, and a masterful blending of musical styles, Torn from the Heart is not easy listening, especially for those of us who have no choice but to count ourselves white men. It is not intended to be. --By Chiwah - The Light Connection / August 2006
