VINYL HANOI MASTERS [VINYL]

Popis - HANOI MASTERS [VINYL]:
This album is a haunting audio document recorded in the summer of 2014 by Grammy-award winning producer Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Malawi Mouse Boys,The Good Ones). The sepia-tinged songs are sung and played live and direct by elderly Vietnamese musicians using half-forgotten traditional instruments. These
musicians all have deep personal connections to the upheavals of the Vietnam War and the album's mesmerizing mood navigates the blurred line between raw beauty and sadness. 40 years after the end of the Vietnam War, a war these Hanoi musicians still call the "American War", the wounds and scars of that era are ever-present. 'Hanoi Masters' is also the first volume of Glitterbeat's new series 'Hidden Musics'. Each 'Hidden Musics'
release will feature unmediated "field" recordings of lesser-known global music traditions.
