羅勃米洛波是位身兼歌手、音樂創作者、鼓手及長笛樂手的全才型歌者，自1995年推出第一張專輯至今，一直以美國傳統原住民音樂為音樂素材。雖然身為美國少數民族成員，但與其它熱愛搖滾樂的人一樣，羅勃從小音樂薰陶是來自Bob Dylan、Bruce Springsteen、John Mellencamp等西洋搖滾藝人音樂的影響，但自19歲接觸第一支印第安傳統笛子開始，再加上許多來自各地民族表演者如蘇格蘭風笛演奏、西班牙佛朗民歌舞蹈，甚至藍調吉他大師B.B.King等人，紛紛來自這個美國發揚獨特的民族文化的小鎮學校演出，羅勃從單純對西洋音樂的喜愛，轉而視發揚傳統民族音樂為使命。在周遊俄羅斯、大溪地、愛爾蘭和蘇格蘭等具有獨特民族色彩的國家之後，羅勃深知發自內心對民族、大自然與生命的熱愛，才是解剖音樂靈魂最重要的元素。

Full of Native history and dreamlike elements, Robert Mirabal's Warrior Magician picks up where his 1995 release Song Carrier left off, painting Native portraits with flute while expanding into a fuller, more modern sound. Mirabal artfully uses light synth, didgeridoo, and contemporary rhythms for a sound that carries Native heritage in its arms while walking into the future. As on Song Carrier there are quietly beautiful Native pieces that invite close listening, but unlike Song Carrier, Warrior Magician offers more distinctly shaped melodies and compositions. Highlights include the gently galloping "Warrior Magician," where a flute sings plaintive verses before guitar and drums chime in with tender, pounding rhythms; "Memoir Chaco" with its Native drumming and lovely mystic overtones; and "Corn Dance," where Mirabal, in a kind of "jam," meanders lovingly with wooden flute. A strong collection by an inspired artist. --Karen K. Hugg
