| Review |
This excellent collection of music from Vietnam was one of The New York Times Critic's Top 10 albums of 1995, and still is one of the best we've heard. The Vietnamese people have struggled over the centuries to create their own history and music but this has not deterred them from absorbing elements from other cultures surrounding the country. The enormous variety of traditional and modern styles found in Vietnam today have been lovingly preserved here in a 3 CD set |

Dem Tay Nguyen (Night in Tay Nguyen) performed by The Dan on the k'ni from this interesting collection of Vietnamese instrumental music. Among the instruments featured in this volume are the dan bau, an electric monochord with a guitar pick-up; the k'longput, a set of bamboo tubes played by clapping hands; and the sao mot lo, a bamboo flute with only one hole. Fascinating music from a resilient, fascinating country |

Xuan Que Huong (The Spring in My Home Village), composed by Phuong Bao & performed by Leu Kim Thu, dan tam thap luc (hammered dulcimer) from Vol. 1.2 of this award winning series. This CD presents the myriad styles found in Vietnam today: works that draw on trance and possession of ancient Buddhist healers, Vietnamese theater songs, mixtures of Chinese and Western classical & pop music, religious ritual music and acoustic funk. A great surprise, a real treat |
