This review is from: The Secret Museum Of Mankind, Vol. 3: Ethnic Music Classics 1925-1948 (Audio CD)

The Secret Museum series trots the globe unearthing indigenous sounds from the early 20th century, showcasing exotic voices and curious instruments, on recordings taken from rare 78's. From locales as distant as Mongolia, India, Angola, Poland, the Congo and more, you'll get chills hearing the Yma Sumac-in outer space wail of female Turkish vocalist Hamiyet Yuceses, or the gutteral groans emitted by Mongolian diphonic throat singer Chimiddorzh Ghanzuryin. Even though this stuff predates the jet age, you'll be amazed to hear how cultures' sounds still into each other effortlessly; some of the African guitarists here show leanings into hillbilly and even Hawaiian stylings. This is some of the purest music on CD.

I love this CD! The Secret Museum of Mankind series is a wonderful collection of music and musicians from around the world and across time. The notes give a lot of insight about this stage of "world" music. The music is beautiful and amazing. If you have ecclectic musical tastes - you will be very happy with any of the CD's from this series.
