BOTH DEMOS HERE

David Darling and Wulu Bunun Tribe

Review: "The Wulu Bunun people of Taiwan specialize in a gloriously subdued style of harmony singing. In fact, their song "Pasibutbut" changed the way Western ethnomusicologists thought about the evolution of harmony. It's included here, a mystical, magical vocal prayer with a coda from David Darling's expressive cello. The vast majority of the pieces here intertwine voice and cello more closely, although there are solo cello pieces ("Wulu Dream" and "Wulu Mist") and pieces just for the singers. Recorded in a valley near the village of Bunun, it's cloaked in ambient natural sounds which blend perfectly alongside Darling's individual playing style and the voices of adults and children. The marriage is close to perfect as the styles complement each other, as on "Bunun Tuza," where Darling simply lets bowed notes hang under the voices. The harmonies themselves are exquisite and without thought, and obviously fire Darling's plentiful imagination. He never adds too much, just what's needed to color and enhance the singing, whether something simple like arpeggios, or even a single note, or decorating with harmonics. The parts themselves are impressive; together they make something wonderful, more than their sum. It may never receive the exposure it deserve, but it's a gem."

Raksha Mancham
Ghazels
The titles "Ghazels" (also "Ghazal" or "Ghzali") refers to beautiful girls" ("beauties") as well as lyrical poems, love poems or love chants and comes from the great Persian lyrical poet Shemseddin Hafiz who described his "ghazels" in such a way : "At the hour of parting, by going away from you, my eyes came emplty of light by dint of weeping".

Raksha Mancham
Chös Khor
""Chös Khor" refers to a Tibetan concept, that can be translated as "the holy circle", "the holy enclosure" or "the holy enclave". "Chös Khor" represents the universe in which the human beings live, the world they inhabit. The musical themes developed in these recordings refer to human populations and their natural environment. "Chös Khor" offers visions of different parts of the World. So by creating that music, the aim of Raksha Mancham is to produce that vision of the World by suggesting images in the mind of the listener."
