SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- On Nov. 11, 2015, the Museum of Musical Instruments in Scottsdale is hosting a unique group of diverse contemporary and traditional music, featuring the R.Carlos Nakai Quartet and rock duo Sihasin, in concert. This special event honors Native American Heritage Month at the museum.

The R. Carlos Nakai Quartet features 10 times Grammy nominated Navajo Ute flutist R.Carlos Nakai. Mixing original compositions with inspired improvisations, RCNQ features R. Carlos Nakai on Native American flutes, concert flute, trumpet and voice; Will Clipman on drums, pan-global percussion and voice; AmoChip Dabney on saxophones, keyboards and voice; and Johnny Walker on bass and voice. The music of RCNQ spans the sonic spectrum from quietly contemplative to highly combustible and from soothingly meditative to irresistibly danceable, always delivered with an impeccable blend of rhythm, melody and harmony and a positive vibration.

Also performing will be the Navajo multi-award winning brother sister duo Sihasin with their explosive sound of bass, drums and vocals weaving traditional Navajo songs with contemporary high energy lyrics pertinent to today's world.

Performing with Sihasin will be their father  Jones Benally, recipient of the acclaimed Arizona Living treasure award and legendary Hoop Dancer.

This amazing event will be at The Museum of Musical Instrument in Scottsdale Arizona. Tickets are available at www.mim.org concert time is 7:00P.M. On Nov. 11, 2015
