Recorded in northern California and the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, “Niiwin” by Darren Thompson features Suni Sonqo Wood and Annie Zhang—both award-winning world musicians. Together, they present solo songs with Indigenous flutes from North and South America as well as duets with a two-stringed Chinese violin. It is a multi-year collaboration that presents non-Western musical traditions together in a historic recording.

Inspired by his Anishinabe culture and homeland, the Lac du Flambeau Ojibwe Nation, The Song of Flower is a collection of Thompson's original compositions, "in-studio" improvisations, and an expression of Native American flute music, both past and present. Many years of dedication and perseverance have culminated with the release of this debut album, "The Song of Flower", from one of Indian Country's most talented young artists.

"Rich tones and inspirational melodies comprise this album of contemporary and traditional flute songs sure to please all listeners. Excellent for relaxation or easy listening." Amazon.com
