Robert Mirabal - The Dance

[@Shortgirllove]

This song deserves 1 million views. I’m 23 and grew up with this song since I was 11

[@CarlaMcCarthyPomegranate96]

I love Robert Mirabal! He is one of the few representatives of the Navajo Nation and the Pueblo Natives in the State of New Mexico that i grew up with all my life(besides living in NYC). He's one of my favorites and will continue to be. This song is fantastic and beautiful.

[@kathrynatkinson6352]

I have had the pleasure of meeting Robert this last fall and we had a very well reversed conversation and I can say this man is genuine in his music and thoughts. Thank you

[@magicjeannie37]

When I was 13 yrs old I read a book on Cochise. I cried a lot. I knew that my spirit was Indian. Over the years I found out my spirit was also African, Latino and Asian and one with all who have been oppressed in many forms. I believe I heard God call me Eddie All Spirits a couple years ago. I know it is who I am, but obviously I do not go running around telling people this, because my flesh is Caucasian (German Polish, Irish) to be exact. So you know what I'm saying lol! God gifted me with The Dance back in the 90's. Someone called it spirit dancing, cause I know Jesus. I guess it is. But the Great Spirit is one to me with all versions of who people think God is. The Dance has been one of my greatest gifts of love to God, to people and to myself. This video made my cry and I am crying again now. I am Eddie All Spirits and I dance The Dance of my Indigenous peoples and the people of the earth. I dance the dance of the Almighty and I dance the dance of the depraved, I am an expression of the human experiment that seems to fail but then just keeps on dancing!!! AAAAY YAH AAAAAAY YAH!!

[@micheleaday3902]

I Have The Same Exact Instincts To Im Akso Caucasion ...I Lived Among Tge Natives Since I Was 2. In The Airforce 1 I Was Born We Lived In Minnesota Montana On The Reservation Also Texas The CHEROKEE AND APACHE TERRITORIES. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL...I LEARNED ALOT FROM THEM HOW TO LUVE OFF THE LAND WHAT TO EAT AND NOT EAT. HOW TO MAKE REAL GREENS AND HOW TO FISH WITH MY HANDS. I LOVE IT AND MISS IT HOPING SOON TO GO TO MONTANA BACK TO LAKOTA NATIVES FOR A TIME❤❤❤

[@alifromnm1]

I loved the PBS special this is from. Makes me proud to be living in the same state as this talented young man.

[@MamaPhoenixHerself]

I am from Taos, and I have mad respect for him and his band. It speaks to the human soul on a primal level. I am not Native, I think we have some native in my family somewhere, but I don't claim it because I feel that is disrespectful, but, I cannot help but love this music. I own two or three CDs and I have to be alone when I listen to it. It pulls at me.

[@Padme729]

+Casey Martinez Dear Heart: I, too, have to be alone when I listen to this music so I can dance with abandon, move from my soul and my heart...and this particular creation always leaves me in tears of joy and strength. All Love, Padme A'Tea

[@knightlykin1499]

If your from Taos, and have that level of respect, then you are considered a sister to me.

[@MamaPhoenixHerself]

Respect, Brother.

[@Padme729]

Dear Hearts: the very first time I watched this all I could do was cry for the beauty...and then I got up to dance...I still watch this every week as often as I can....All Love, Padme A'Tea

[@joelallen4245]

Casey Martinez every cell of my being feels this Even the parts of me from europe. Native love Oglala Lakota love. Mitakuye oyasin

[@angelquest1348]

GREAT song !!!!! I would have stand up and applaud in the end too! What a wonderful musician! Stay proud & strong you dear Native-people. Just know there ARE people,who are not of Native-blood, who admire you, would stand by your side, have love & an open heart. I'm one of them....

[@jimfrank3306]

When I taught Native American courses at College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, IL., we invited Robert and his troupe to perform and visited our campus twice. Needless to say both performances were full houses. When I asked if I could bring a class to visit him on his rez he graciously invited us to camp out on his property. A good human being with a BIG heart. Many thanks.

[@cozz5053]

Robert's voice is so pure! So talented. So beautiful. It calms my soul. It returns us to all that we really are: full of love and kindness. May your music flow in the wind and bless many who hear and feel it. Many blessings to you too, thank you for this beauty.

This makes me proud to be an American. Even though I have no native american heritage, the US is unique in having this as a part of our cultural heritage and it is right to celebrate it. This is for ALL Americans!

[@alignprogress]

This song helped me so very much after a head injury. I listened to it along with the rest of the album for a year. It spoke to my heart, and gave me incredible comfort. That was 12 years ago, This music is timeless. THANK YOU to this brilliant music.

[@Myrrhdm]

Every time I need a "recharge" in my life, I watch this video. I saw Music From a Painted Cave live in Minneapolis in 2001, and this particular song became my own theme song, which has remained true through the passage of time. When I hear it, I feel the strength and purpose of my ancestors around me. It never fails to make me see the possibility of Peace, Love, Unity. Thank you for your vision!

[@NativeSista]

[@jacobmccorry125]

I almost went and seen this Live in concert, He came to Michigan and my folks got tickets I was about 7 years old. But a big pow wow was going on the same day so I was given a choice skip out on the concert and see the pow wow, or go to the concert and skip the Pow Wow. Out of my stupidity i decided to go to the Pow Wow instead. Realizing after watching this over and over I missed out on such an amazing show.

[@TheRavenDakota]

I was there!!.. It was absolutely amazing.. Near the end they pulled people out of the audience to come up and "Dance".. I was one of them.. After the concert, he signed my CD.. Best day ever!!

[@carolindigo]

Amazing song to celebrate prayer, meditation, and culture... to find and know balance thru our choices. Beautiful.

[@maryhelenvasquezluna6831]

I've felt very connected to The Native American all my life, I grew up being told I was part Cherokee. It is such a blessing to be able to connected (through these vids) with those I've always wished I had personal relationships with. I get sad like I miss my real family and so long to be with you again.

[@mooreoftre]

Every night I tell Alexa to play "flute music" and this song always plays. I grew to waiting for it to play each time and never knew sung or anything. I decided to finally look it up today and glad I've seen this video. Much love to the native people's ❤️. My family has some Choctaw in their blood. my great grandmas mother was full blood Choctaw from down in Mississippi in the Louisville area

Cet homme est karismatique et possède ce don de faire passer les messages au travers de sa musique, ses chants et la danse à nous de savoir les interpréter et comprendre. Merci Robert

О, как давно эта песня была исполнена🤦 но я услышала и поняла "посыл" и смысл😊 Дорогие коренные жители континента Америка - я из России. И , слава Богу, я понимаю вашу Боль🙏🙏🙏 ваши так называемые "хозяева" хотят и с нашей землей сотворить, с нашей Великой Россией❤ Когда то, большое количество лет назад, вас, как народ начали уничтожать белые люди, англосаксы. Теперь эти ненасытные " отбросы человечества" лезут и на нашу территорию😮🤔 И мне, как руссскому человеку, не хочется, чтобы мой народ повторил вашу историю. 🙏🙏🙏 Люблю индейцев❤ Люблю Россию❤ И хочу, чтобы вы были счастливы на своей Земле, также, как и мы на своей родной территории - России!❤❤❤
