A member of the Echota Cherokee tribe, Golaná is an acclaimed Native American flautist with five much lauded albums.

Golana´ is a “rock sitter” – often composing in majestic settings such as the Sierras, Joshua Tree and Sedona.  His albums have won numerous awards and accolades, including NAV (New Age Voice) Music Awards for “Best Meditation & Healing Music”, COVR (Coalition of Visionary Retailers) Awards for “Best Native American Music” and a stunning five NAMMY (Native American Music Awards) nominations for "Flutist of the Year" and "Best Instrumental Album".

Just Announced: LONE PINE CANYON Nominated for an IMSA Award in the Best Flute Recording Category!!

Lone Pine Canyon

The fifth release from GOLANA´ finds this innovative master of the Native American flute stretching the boundaries of his meditative, nature inspired music. Created amidst the beauty of the Angeles National Forest, Lone Pine Canyon features eleven compositions, including stunningly beautiful re-settings of two classical works, with strings, guitar, piano and percussion accompanying Golana´’s entrancing flute stylings.

Moon of First Snow

The fourth album from widely acclaimed GOLANA´ features his unique style of Native American flute music accompanied by subtle touches of acoustic guitar, piano, cello, violin, harp and hand drum. Lauded with numerous awards (including NAMA - Native American Music Awards - nominations as Flutist and Male Artist of the Year), on Moon of First Snow GOLANA´ once again mesmerizes with his distinctive approach to the Native American flute.

Feather on the Wind

A beautiful cross-cultural effort, this COVR Best Native American Album winner features numerous well-known guest artists, including Michael Hoppé, Armen Chakmakian, and Scott Hartley. GOLANA´’s Native flutes, however, anchor the album with expansive and inviting melodies. Musical Soundscapes called Feather On The Wind “Native American music at its best.”

Walk Between Worlds

Here GOLANA´’s Native flutes are joined by the suprising strains of the western harp. Melodic, haunting, and as contemporary as listeners expect in this genre (it was nominated for a NAMMY - the coveted Native American equivelent to the Grammys® and won a COVR award) Walk Between Worlds is a one of a kind work, an album you shouldn’t miss!

Path to the Heart

Perhaps the most “open” and receptive of GOLANA´’s albums, Path To The Heart features nine compositions for solo flute. Called “little short of magic” by NA Retailer Magazine, this album is over fifty six minutes of stillness and healing, and was a NAV Finalist for Best Healing/Meditation Album.
