My aunt and uncle deal in art from New Guinea (link to their website), and recently they have asked me to digitize some New Guinea music that they have collected on cassette tapes. This process requires that I listen to the recordings several times as I first digitize the music and then edit it. It's pretty neat stuff; sometimes strange, sometimes beautiful. All of it evokes a culture very different from our own. Listening to this makes me appreciate the study of ethnic music a lot more (I have a friend who is an ethnomusicologist).
Anyway, I'm including two tracks here. As I continue to finish the editing of the material (several hours worth) I may post more.
