5.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to Various Styles, February 19, 2000

By 

NF "nfoulger" (Montgomery, Alabama United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Voices of Forgotten Worlds (Audio CD)

Excellent samples of various groups and locations all over the world. The range is from Tuvan throat singers, Inuit songs, the Australian Aborigne digeridoo, three Native American pieces among others, but there is something from every geographical area and musical style. If you are interested in a wide variety of groups or would like to hear samples of various groups, this CD set is usefula as it gives a taste and an introduction to different ethnic group music styles. The accompanying booklet is a very useful resource in learning more about the music, the culture and in some cases, the performers of these pieces.

The book is beautiful, with lots of color photography. The tracks are great, you can tell that there were some ethnomusicologists involved. Alltogether, a great buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating and fun!, February 16, 1999

This review is from: Voices of Forgotten Worlds (Audio CD)

The book that accompanies the CD is superbly produced with high quality color pictures, notes about the artists, descriptions of the culture, and remarks about the recording process for each track. As a one-purchase introduction to the music of indigenous peoples, it can't be beat. But be careful--after reading about and listening to this music, you may find yourself wanting to purchase lots more music you only get to sample here.
