I love this artists outlook! As he puts it, "...We were put on the earth to experience life in its totality. And if you're not doing that, you're essentially wasting your time." When he is not recording, composing or researching, most of the year is spent touring throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and Japan performing and lecturing on Native American culture and philosophy.
Nakai has many works some of which are solo flute albums but also has expanded into works with other talented artists and views these as "philosophical communication between...musicians" and opportunities to explore beyond traditional musical and cultural boundaries.
