This series of archival 78 transfers was originally released in 1995 on
CD only. Now for the first time on vinyl, a deluxe gatefold
presentation in a limited edition pressing. Produced by Hisham Mayet (Sublime Frequencies) in conjunction with Yazoo Records. Compiled here
are many of the greatest performances of world and ethnic music ever
recorded. This volume represents a trip around the world, stopping at
each port to sample one of that country's finest recordings of its
indigenous music. Each of these recordings was captured at a period
during the golden age of recording when traditional styles were at their
peak of power and emotion. Included inside are extensive notes and
beautiful period photographs that work together with the music to
communicate an exciting sense of discovery. " One of the most
consistently rewarding world music compilations in years, the cuts range
from Macedonian fiddle jaunts to Puerto Rican Christmas tunes, from
Abyssinian religious chants to ominous Japanese court music. The
instruments include Ukrainian sleigh bells, Sardinian triple pipes,
Vietnamese moon lutes and Ethiopian one-string violins...a profound
artistry lurks beneath the alien vernaculars. " -- Village Voice ;
