Gloomy-sounding instruments

http://www.mediafire.com/download/arbphs3m5mq1w32/I-STT.zip

Hello amigos. To honour this year's Dia de Los Muertos, I rise from the dead to re-share this gorgeous compilation of death-themed Mexican folk music straight from the Mexican Anthropology Museum archives.

Unfortunately my plans of ripping vinyl have been indefinably postponed. I'll try to post more often, tho.

Don't know about you guys, but I can't think of Dia de los muertos without recalling this great game. The remake and the HQ soundtrack are both available on Vapor

Let my people stay

Hey fellas. Before start ripping my vinyl -- been trying to figure out how isolate my set from radio interference, it's driving me nuts --, I'll share some CD rips I've found scattered around my HDD and the webverse.

Ripped by my yoga instructor's request (lol), this album is a collection of songs passed on and sung by members of the Guarani people, probably the largest indigenous group in Brazil (also extending to other countries). While I'm not exactly up to date with USA's politics on native people, I can guarantee Brazil's probably way worse. Recent examples are the construction of a giant hydro plant complex inside an Indian reserve and the perpetual slaughter of indigenous leaders by big farmers and such. Depressing shit, really.

Well, about the album, is entirely sung by the Guarani (it's also the language's name) children of many different tribes; kinda akin to the Wulu Bunun record I've posted some time ago, though as not as sophisticated in production. Very nice tunes with minimum instrumentation, and another important glimpse of an endangered culture.

ps.: this is the 1st CD. If anyone wants part 2, just message me. Or better yet, get it at iTunes

Stars ever-dimming

http://www.mediafire.com/download/wcx54djxuwejwh4/DD&TWB-MK(2003).zip

This was supposed to be a inspirational gift for our friend and host Ryan, but the latest happenings made me want to extend this blessing to whoever needs it

David Darling isn't a ethnomusicologist per se, and I'm sure this record doesn't quite qualify as true Ethno due to his arrangements and cello additions. However, the polyphonic chants of the Bunun, a Taiwanese tribe, echo magnificently. If there's hope yet to be found in this ever rotting world, ceiled by ever dimming stars, it creeps around woods, deserts, mountains and islands untouched, sovereign reign of animist gods.

If you fancy buying
