Explanation of expansion[edit]

I've expanded the article to include some background info, a summary of his muscial career, and a discography. Not sure that this would add up to a B article, so I've ranked it as a "Start". There could technically be more discussion of Robert's most current works--and his early life (considering that his book provides a good source for early biographical info)--so if you have the book and want to expand on that, please do so!

I've also deleted the unnecessary and almost ridiculous box on this page about its proposed deletion. (Um, Robert Mirabal is one of the most prominent Native musicians...hello?) Efrafra 07:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Residence[edit]

Where does he live? Badagnani (talk) 08:31, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still lives in Taos, near Taos Pueblo. Efrafra (talk) 01:49, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved these here, until shown otherwise[edit]

", and won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Native American Album of the Year.^{[citation needed]}"

and

"His 2007 Johnny Whitehorse CD, Totemic Flute Chants, won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Native American Album of the Year.^{[citation needed]}"

While I hope Mirabal does win more granny's my search of Grammy.com did nopt support these claims. I'd love to learn otherwise, but . . ..... until then, these are out. Carptrash (talk) 21:31, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Record label[edit]

The record label link lead to a (new?) parked domain hosted at brownrice internet in Taos. I commented it out for now, it should be restored if and when the site has content. Yworo (talk) 18:42, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
