I listen to Hober Radio, a lot. I also want almost every CD I hear on there. They just have such a fantastic mix.

Anyway, I have contacted Sandy for the ones I know Folk Legacy carries. For more unusual or differently focussed ones, I contact Dick Greenhaus, of the DT and owner of Camsco Music.

I'd noticed Hober kept playing cuts from something called Voices of Forgotten Worlds. Sent Dick a PM and said do you... can you... what's the deal? He got right back to me and put it in the mail the next day.

I now have, thanks to a very reasonable price and great service from Dick, a two CD set Voices of Forgotten Worlds: Traditional Music of Indigenous People along with a full-colour book, 8" X 10", 95 pages, with full colour photographs and text telling about each culture and song represented on the CD's! These are fantastic CD's for anyone who is interested in the music of native peoples from around the world and the quality of recording is superb.

Here are the peoples represented on the CD's and in the book:

CD 1

Ainu - Japan
Garrifuna - Belize
Quechuan - Bolivia
Saami - Norway
Bunun - Taiwan

CD 2

Solomon Islanders - Guadalcanal and Savo
Ba-Benjelle Pygmies - Central Africa

Aga - Bali
Turkmen - Iran
Batak - N. Sumatra
Wodaabe - Niger
Native American Bad Canyon Wellpinit Singers, Spokane - US
Native American - Navajo - US
Native American - Northern Cree - Canada
Wagogo - Tanzania

Music compiled by Brooke Wentz. Produced in cooperation with the UNited Nations Centre for Human Rights.

I highly recommend this set to anyone who has any kind of interest in the music of native peoples; filled with haunting melodies, some voices alone, others with percussion and other traditional instruments...it is WELL worth getting! The book is an interesting and added bonus!

Thanks, Dick!
