Read the notes for a fascinating history of the music on this CD. Getting a note wrong would “invite death & disaster to visit the community.” War chants, history songs, prayers, protests, even genealogies sung with no real pitch and varying meter. It’s unusual, w/field recordings of varying quality. The following are especially good/interesting:
1. Hula-like w/guitar & chorus. Mid-tempo.
2. Way cool blend of shrill voices.
4. Like a strange Baptist choir. Mid-tempo.
5. War drums. Fast w/great rhythm & energy.
9. Folksy guitar, a happy little song.
11. Big round song w/lots of voices
12. Slow, hand claps, small chorus.
14. Excellent! Bamboo drums then chorus.
15. Guitar, fem voice. Hula-like. Mid-tempo.
16. Fast claps, chorus. Bouncy.
19. More great drums.
22. A capella duet (male/female). Slow/mid-tempo.
24. Solo male vox then male chorus like marching.
