Andrew Vasquez is a Native American flute player of the Apache tribe. He has released four albums to date: "Vasquez", the award winning "Wind River", "V3: An American Indian", and "Togo", all released by Makoché Records. His career in entertainment began as a solo Northern Style Traditional dancer with the New York based American Indian Dance Theater from 1986 to 1991. While on tour, he traded for his first flute, and he began to play and soon to create original compositions.
