Title: Native American-inspired Groove Music
Review: This first release by Ah Nee Mah is a fresh-sounding take on Native American-inspired, trance-groove, spiritual music. I know that sounds like a strange mixture, but the music is not easy to describe because it is quite distinctive. If you are familiar with "Sacred Spirit 1" and/or Soulfood, then this will give you an indication of what this music is like. If not, then the best way to describe it would be to say that it is a combination of Native American singing, talking and chanting combined with tradtional acoustic instrumentation enhanced with subtle electronic samplings. The feel of some of the tunes is fairly traditional (track 1), while others are more groove oriented (track 7). Listen to track one to give you a feel for the rich mix on this music. Also try Ah Nee Mah's second CD, "Spirit of the Canyon".
