PROPHECY
​
I am currently in discussion with a production company, to co-headline a tour of the Pacific Northwest in early 2017. This tour is currently proposed to include Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Numerous legalities need to be finalized, but if booked an audience will see many elements of my stage production PROPHECY.
PROPHECY features various native dances, uplifting vocals, thunderous drumming, flutes music and original Native American stories. This captivating program will have the audience soaring through the sight and sounds. The program will convey the very foundation of “balance in life” with messages of unity, peace and equality.
PROPHECY is ready to be toured and is currently seeking additional venues. To book PROPHECY or other performances visit my website at romanorona.com or email me at romanoronaentertainment@gmail.com

Circling Spirits
​
This album presents a collection of Apache songs that express his people’s sacred values. With drums, dancers’ bells, whistles and vocals sung from the heart, Roman’s music acknowledges the spirits of the ancestors who sacrificed their lives, families and lands, so that their tribal communities could endure. Driven by a vision of respect for all humanity, these songs from the Apache tradition are meant to touch the human soul in all of us.
"Dancing Spirits" features a rare paring of Apache singing and the world-renowned flute artistry of R. Carlos Nakai. Nakai's Native American flute melodies seamlessly weave through the pulsing beat of Apache drum and vocals by Roman.
The song "Sacred Cave Song" features Roman joining in singing this classic San Carlos Apache song with the late Phillip Cassadore through the medium of recording technology.
