A Tribute to Mother Earth
All new recordings by 2005 Grammy winner Bill Miller, two time Grammy nominee Joanne Shenandoah, Grammy Winners Primeaux and Mike, best selling artists Robert Mirabal and Walela (with Rita Coolidge) and highly acclaimed artists Star Nayea and Little Wolf Band.

Many Blessings is an impressive collection from Silver Wave Records and its award winning cast of Native American Musicians, including Mary Youngblood, Joanne Shenandoah, Robert Mirabal, Peter Kater & R. Carlos Nakai, Lawrence Laughing, Alice Gomez, and Tito La Rosa.

Silver Wave's second Giant Screen film soundtrack, BEARS, features an original score by Violaine Corradi, best known for her work as musical director of CIRQUE DU SOLEIL.

BEARS, the playful title track by Lyle Lovett sets the stage for more engaging Americana tunes by Paul Reisler and Claude Carmichael, and earthy Native American music by Mary Youngblood, Lawrence Laughing and Alice Gomez.

Superbly intertwined with Violaine Corradi's inventive score, the music reveals the mystery of BEARS, from their mythical past to their fragile future, in a unique and entertaining listening experience. With indigenous sounds, contemporary instrumental music and songs of Americana, this CD (50+ minutes) re-creates the drama of these extremely powerful and majestic animals.

This original soundtrack features contributions from many top names in popular Native American music. New songs written specifically for the film were contributed by Donna Summer, Joanne Shenandoah, and Juni Kae Randall. The original score by composer Murielle Hamilton adds dramatic Native American sonance with Bill Miller featured on flute. Mary Youngblood, Walela (Rita & Priscilla Coolidge and Laura Satterfield), and Arigon Starr add stellar tracks to the mix, while the Mystic River Singers hold down tradition with a spirited pow-wow chant. Christafari and Carlos Reynosa add pop elements that keep the energy flowing throughout these diverse, yet always top quality performances. The contrasts in the music reflect the many changes of life that are all part of the drama of Naturally Native.

The film and soundtrack both have a decidedly Native American influence featuring songs by Robbie Robertson with Primeaux and Mike, Walela (Rita and Priscilla Coolidge & Laura Satterfield), Joanne Shenandoah, Sacred Spirits and Mary Youngblood. With an original film score by Michel Cusson, actual howls of wolves recorded live in the wild and songs by Bruce Cockburn and Paul Winter, this soundtrack captures the growing popularity and appreciation for the reintroduction of wild wolves.

The lullabies speak deeply about who we are as a world community...Pristinely beautiful! -Denver Post review

This is a beautiful and unique collection of lullabies from around the world, all sung in their native language..

Many of the voices are "folk" singers--grandmothers, fathers, brothers and aunts who have done their share of singing their children to sleep. The unique music and authentic native tongues bring richness and variety to this collection that highlights the diversity of our planet, and at the same time underscores the closeness of the human family.

No other lullaby recording can match this in its diversity and soulfulness. Featured on NPR (National Public Radio), this is an enchanting collection that will appeal to adults and children, world music fans and those who simply appreciate heartfelt music in its purest form.
