Gabriel Ayala, classical guitarist, is one of the up and coming musicians of his time. He received his Master of Music degree from the University of Arizona. Gabriel has taught in all levels of education from elementary to college which has helped him to become a leading pedagogue of the guitar. Gabriel performs extensively throughout the United States. In 2003, Gabriel released his self-titled debut CD and was nominated for the Native American Music Awards, otherwise known as, the NAMMYS for "Best Independent Recording." In addition to being a solo classical guitarist, Gabriel also promotes Native culture through traditional singing and dancing. Gabriel (Yaqui) is working on the production of two new CD's to be released in 2007.Vince Redhouse (Navajo) began playing music at 6 years old. Vince attended the Academy of Arts/Humanities, a private music
school under the direction of German professor Axel Duwe.Vince is known as a saxophone jazz musician, as well as, the Native American flute.Gabriel and Vince felt there was a good match between classical guitar and the native flute. The sound that both instruments convey is a melodic sound in which the guitar and flute mesh together. They are hoping to help break stereotypesd of native musicians linking them to a certain genre and wish to expand the classical repertoire, flamenco, contemporary and original compositions. Separately they are both well respected within their own fields.
