American Seasons brought the legendary Carlos Nakai trio to Yekaterinburg, treating the Urals audience to the magical indigenous sounds of Native American music, replete with wisdom and peaceful harmonies. Confirmed by a lasting storm of ovation at the end of the show, the Russian listeners admired Nakai’s inimitable nature-like flute sound and mysterious vocals, percussionist Will Clipman’s virtuoso drumbeats, and luthier William Eaton’s unique harp-lyre-guitar harmonies.
