Traditional wedding music fom The Kangra region of Himachal Pradesh in India. The instruments used are the Pipdi - a reed blowing instrument some what similar to the Shenai used in other regions of India (Played by Mangal Ram from Bir Village), and the Nagara Drums - similar to the nagras in the plains (these are very old pieces) they are made of metal with skin stretched on the playing surface. The skin is tightened with straps that weave into the edge of the skin and meet at the centre bottom of the drums. Two drums are placed opposite each other and the drummer plays them with a cross stick action. The drummer here is Jondu Ram (father of Mangal Ram.) Please note: This is a genuinely live, on-the-spot recording, and as such, there may be slight flaws in the performance and recording.
A dark and ominous piece with heavy use of the Taiko drum and japanese/chinese Gong. No melody, all percussion. Chase scene, etc. Full mix.
This piece moves through various sections of chinese inspired ambient and rhythmic music. Some melodic elements (Chinese main theme), but also some sections with just background ambience and Chinese percussion.
Slow reflective tune with acoustic guitar, flute, bassoon and strings.
Big uplifting African theme, very energetic, happy and driven and sweeping. Percussion, Voices, Strings, Flutes.
Ethnic Flute and Drums, sparse and mystic in a tribal setting. Medicine man.
Smart Folk spectacle with an Irish feel
Happy, beaty bouncey, didgeridoo lead track with an uplifting poppy chorus part. Ideal for cruising along some endless Australian highway..or just up the road the shops. Contains didge, drums, synths, fiddle, bass and strings.
