Scott Huckabay is a trance guitarist and musical shaman who draws from nature and his Apache Chiricahua roots to create transcendent experiences. His music has been called a cross between Jim Hendrix, Michael Hedges and Ravi Shankar. After a near fatal motorcycle accident, Scott picked up an acoustic guitar and a new kind of healing music began to flow through him. In this interview, he shares stories of his native background and about his mother being taken from her family and sent off to an Indian boarding school where she was tortured for just speaking her native language. Scott carries the fire of his tribal roots through his energetic and uplifting guitar performances and recordings.

Peter Ali Interview on Soundings Mindful Media Podcast

We hope you enjoy this interview with Peter Ali who has released an album with Dean Evenson called Prayers on the Wind: Native American & Silver Flutes.

Peter Ali is a Native American Flutist who resides in the Pacific Northwest.  He has inspired and comforted many through his music since first hearing the call of a Native American style flute at a low point in his own life. He then found his way towards healing through teaching himself to play the flute. Peter comes from a unique blending of cultures. His mother is from Sonora Mexico and is of Mayan, Pima Indian, and southern European descent. His father is of Berber descent from Morocco, North Africa.

After many years of flute playing, Peter discovered that his paternal grandfather had also played the traditional Ney flute for ceremonies and gatherings. Peter has gathered a wonderful collection of wooden flutes, each with a unique voice that he directs and brings to life. He performs and teaches flute playing and flute making through various Native American tribal programs, schools, public libraries, and other venues. He was a featured performer for the Dalai Lama during the Seeds of Compassion Seattle event. Peter’s latest musical offering is a collaboration with Dean Evenson called Prayers On The Wind.
