 Robert Mirabal From the powwow auction where he saw that first flute, to Japan, England and all the world, Robert plays with the noble purpose of honoring the land, his family, his ancestors and his tribe who have occupied the same area of Northern New Mexico for over a thousand years.
While deeply aware of his heritage, Robert looks at the responsibility universally: "I offer my work as a healing for the human spirit and a rememberence of why we are all here together."
In addition to the music and instruments he creates, Robert is also a celebrated painter, poet and playwright. He is the author of A Skeleton of a Bridge, a book of poetry, prose and short stories. He has lent his words and insights to several educational and documentary films, including two narrated by Robert Redford, "Silent Witness" and "Sacred Sites."
He is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Award and the New York Dance and Performer's "Bessie" Award for composition. Robert has also been named Songwriter of the Year twice in 1998 and again in 1999 at the annual Native American Music Awards.
