Tatanka Airo, American Indian Rock Opera, Format: Audio CD

"Tatanka" is a conceptual project that blends contemporary Native American music with mainstream pop/rock instrumental. Featuring a combination of instruments including haunting flute, traditional Native American drums and percussion, as well as various styles of guitar, this album is an authentic blend of mainstream and traditional Native American music, making it truly unique. This album is the first release of what became a two-part series that tells the story of the buffalo from before man, to its relationship with the American Indians, and through its near extinction due to the westward expansion across the plains. For those who love music that tells a story, this CD is a must have for your collection.

"Tatanka", the first release by AIRO, pushes the envelope to encompass more styles, sounds, and genres of music. This fun, upbeat album is the first release of what is to become a two-part series that will tell the story of the buffalo from before man, to its relationship with the American Indians, and through its near extinction due to the westward expansion across the plains. If you have enjoyed some of the more upbeat CDs of the past, "Tatanka" is a must have for your collection.
