Khun Narin - Baisi Sukhwan (Thailand)

I WISH I could share it with you, but it's nowhere to be found, not on youtube or any other streaming service I have at my disposal.

The song is Glass Butterflies by Dirk Campbell and it's a gorgeous piece of world music. Well worth hunting down if you can find it.

The last part of this incorporating his tune "Symposium."

What the hell? Thanks Rostasi :love:

Why didn't I find it? Must be something wrong with my googling skills :confused:

The gentle, earthen and watery-guggly sound of that flute after the 2 minute mark is something I just find wonderful. I'm not quite sure what it is, but I thought perhaps some kind of ocarina?

The flutes that I can hear in this tune are,
in order, a duduk, Irish flute, bansuri and a kaval.
Nice piece of whirled music, but may be
too dissonant near the beginning for some.
New age people often have delicate snowflake ears.

Cool Rostasi :) you sure know your flutes / recorders.

I kinda knew ocarina was a dumb suggestion :laughing: but there's some jug-ish quality to the sound of the lower register flute that just makes me think of clay.

I also know Dirk from earlier Canterbury related projects like Egg and early National Health (when he was known as Mont). He was in the British news some time ago as his daughter was a soldier and was killed in battle with ISIS. There were troubles getting bodies back to the UK for burial and I saw an interview with him about it :(

Seems he performs with his son these days.

The duduk is used a lot in soundtracks.
The low, breathy tones might be something desired
for dark elements in film and video game scores and
it seems that some well-known musicians
(Peter Gabriel being one of them) brought some
attention to the instrument and its most well-known performer,
the late (he died just last year) Djivan Gasparyan.

Konono #1 are from Kinshasa (Dem Rep of Congo), but if you like the sound of thumb-piano you may like it too:-

@Lisnaholic Great, the last couple of days my early, sunny mornings with a cup of Coffee in my hand, were energized by Thomas Mapfumo, peppered with the Gumbé music of Patcheco de Gumbé posted on page 2, flavored with the Italian vibes of Maria Moramarco`s stunning singing.

Maria Moramarco - San Jacque de Galizia (Italy)

Haha! That's interesting to hear about your sunny mornings, Safar. Yes, Maria M has a beautiful voice.

Here's another exquisite piece of singing, but from the German group Vox, recorded in 1992:-



I once passed through Bari in younger days, taking a ferry from there to Greece. Valparaiso, though, I don't know, but if a song and a couple of photos are sufficient motivation, I'd like to pay it a visit:-

Stumbling across superb music like this a one of the joys of this sight. Do we know if this is an ancient or modern work? Abbess Hildegard von Bingen would be tickled pink with this .

My last foreign language album discovery. A '70s gem from Argentina.

A bit of folk / world music from Norway :)
