Not all Native American music has words, though when we think of their music, we may associate it with singing. The flute is a popular instrument, and it is simple, constructed with about five or six holes. The sound is clear and haunting, and it imitates the human voice. R. Carlos Nakai is of the Navajo tribe, and he plays traditional flute. He also experiments with the flute in several other genres. This piece, "Shaman's Call" is a traditional flute song, and the flute is unaccompanied. It creates a peaceful and relaxing sound.
