About Ronald Roybal - Native American Flute and Guitar
I perform Native American Flute and Classical Guitar in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Being of Tewa and Spanish Colonial descent, I am a mixture of these two worlds just like my music. My music has been nominated for six Native American Music Awards (NAMMYs) and has won two New Mexico Music Industry Awards for Best Native American Music Production. I am also the house musician at the Hotel Santa Fe, the only Native American (Picuris Pueblo) owned hotel in Santa Fe, where I have performed for 12 seasons. I have been helping people to relax and enjoy themselves for a long time!
In addition to flute and guitar I also sing, drum and play the piano. I hope you will enjoy the audio and video that I have posted. I have been blessed with a great gift and I am called to share it with you so that you might benefit from its healing and restorative properties. If you want to hear and see more, check out my site at www.RonaldRoybal.com. You can find cool videos from my NAMMY nominated film, "The Blood Cries Out", as well as performance footage at The Ronald Roybal Music Channel on YouTube.

"The Blood Cries Out" is a beautiful blend of iconic American Indian imagery captured by master photographer Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952) with inspiring music composed and performed by six-time Native American Music Award nominee Ronald Roybal. Separated in time by nearly a century, their joint effort mixes portraits, landscapes and portrayals of American Indian life with Native American flute, classical guitar and piano resulting in a masterpiece of sight and sound that invokes visions of a time and place firmly embedded in the American Spirit. (51 minutes with ten high resolution music videos in stereo sound)
"The Blood Cries Out" was nominated Best Long Form Music Video in the 2007 Native American Music Awards and was a featured selection of the 2007 Santa Fe Film Festival!
"The Blood Cries Out" makes a great 'coffee table' DVD to share with your friends and family! The high resolution video and stereo looks and sounds great on your home movie system!
Here's what one fan has to say....
"Hi Ronald!
We received 'The Blood Cries Out' last week and our family has watched it and listened to it at least five times since then. The images are so beautiful and so powerful and your music seems to be made for them. What a treat for our family to be able to watch something so beautiful together. Thanks Ronald for sharing your talent with us! We look forward to your next release!"

IN MOST GREAT WAR STORIES THERE IS INCREDIBLE FOCUS THAT TURNS THINGS AROUND WHEN MORAL IS NEARLY DOWN TO HOPELESS I COULD TELL YOU SOME BUT I'D RATHER REMIND YOU THAT YOU'RE WRITING ONE EVERY MOMENT THAT YOU TRUST TO THINK TO HOLD ONTO YOUR INSTINCTS
SOME TRY HARD TO GET YOU TO DROP YOUR GUARD WHICH JUMPS UP REGARDLESS WHEN THEY COME AROUND PEACE LOSES GROUND AND FROWNS FEEL THE NEED TO COME OUT WE DON'T HAVE TO THINK TO TRUST OUR INSTINCTS BECAUSE INSTINCTS WERE DESIGNED AS A FAILSAFE SO THAT WHEN WE'RE BEING USED WE DON'T SINK TO FAR IT RAISES OUR GUARD AND PAYS ATTENTION REGARDLESS OF THE MESS SOME PROFESS SHOULDN'T BE BRINGING US STRESS
BLESS YOUR INSTINCTS AND SHOW THEM RESPECT ...,AND REMEMBER THE TIMES THAT THEY'VE SAVED YOUR NECK BEFORE YOU OBJECT AND REACH FOR THAT CARROT
IT'S A BLESSED MARRIAGE THAT ONLY A FOOL SEEKS TO DIVORCE YOU CAN HEAR THEM ALL THE TIME WHINING SAYING THEY NEVER SAW IT COMING WHEN OF COURSE THEY DID BUT DECIDED TO KEEP GRABBING AND RUNNING FOR THAT ILLUSIVE CARROT
WHAT'S REAL DOESN'T PLAY "DO A MILLION THINGS 1ST ...,AND MAYBE SOME DAY, GAMES"
I AM THANKFUL FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE TRUE LETTING GO OF THE FALSE THAT TRY TO STICK WITH TRICKS IN OTHER WORDS I AM THANKFUL FOR YOU
IN MOST GREAT WAR STORIES THERE IS INCREDIBLE FOCUS...,
"Every nice friend is a precious gift of God. It's one
of life's best blessings. A priceless gift that can never
be bought, sold, or forgotten...Just like you."
Have a wonderful weekend! Lotsa love sent your way~

THERE WAS A HAUNTED HOUSE A HALLOWEEN NIGHT ON THE DARKNESS O MOON. WITH WIND TO HEAR WITH ITS PITFUL SOUNDS OF MAGIC A HOWLING SOUND AS ON DOES A HALLOWEEN NIGHT AS FROM THE HOUSE
TO HEAR A FIRE. OF VOICES AND SOUNDS OF DARK DEATH OF GHOSTS AND WITCHES OF SPELLS THAT RETURNED AT NIGHT. THERE WERE KNOCKING ON
EVERY DOOR COULD IT BE THE WITCHES WITH THEIR BLACK CATS WHISTEN SOUNDS OR WHO COULD IT BE. MABY THE CROWS ARE SPREADING THEIR WINGS FROM THE WOODS CALLING THE WOLF'S AT DARK OF THE MOON. AND THE OWLS ARE WEAVING THEIR SPELLS. IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT IN ENCHANTED GARDENS THE SCARECROWS ARE BLOWING IN THE BREEZE AS STARS SPARKLES WITH
TWINKLES ACROSS THE SKY AS THE WITCHES FLY ACROSS TO THE MOON.
