The Doña Ana Arts Council in association with Heritage Hotels and Resorts, proudly continues the 2015/2016 New Mexico Heritage Series with a long-awaited return engagement by two-time Grammy Award-winner, Robert Mirabal. The Native American flute player will bring his unique brand of world music to the Rio Grande Theatre Saturday, January 16, 2016, with his new show “River” that merges indigenous American sounds with those of Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, tapping into a planetary pulse with a style that defies categorization.
Hailing from Taos, New Mexico, Robert Mirabal has been described as a Native American “Renaissance Man,” keeping the centuries old customs of the Taos Pueblo people alive as a musician, composer, painter, master craftsman, poet, actor, screenwriter, horseman and farmer. His dozen albums of traditional music, rock and roll and spoken word present a contemporary view of American Indian life that is unequalled. A leading proponent of World Music, his continued exposures and experiences have opened up new avenues of performance, awakening a global sound and voice unlike any other. Mirabal will be presenting his latest one-man performance entitled “River”.
