Stories of My Grandfather
Native American Flute played by
Albert Running Wolf is of Kiowa blood. Albert started playing the flute
over 10 years ago, when his first flute was gifted to him by an extraordinary
flute-maker at a Powwow in Texas. "Stories of My Grandfather" is dedicated
to his late Grandfather, Edward Chavez, who taught Albert about the ways
of The People. "Stories of My Grandfather" is a unique mix of both traditional
and contemporary Native American flute music. From beginning to end you will
hear the stories as told by the flute; from the Aboriginal story of Dream Time, to
Amazing Grace.
Running Wolf has been heard on WAIF radio's "Native Voices" (*see excerpts of
album review below), as well as performed with the internationally renowned
Wayquay. Additionally, he has also appeared at the Hiroshima Flame Walk, the Run
For Freedom, the One Day of Peace run, and as a guest musician at numerous Powwows
around the Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky area.
*Following are excerpts from the review of "Stories of My Grandfather" by WAIF radio's Native Voices:
"Albert Running Wolf tells his story in his first CD "Stories of My Grandfather"...........Albert's
Native American flute soothes and inspires........His stories are heart-felt......Particularly poignant
is the title track dedicated to his late Grandfather......Look forward to more releases.....as his career
as Native American musician expands"
