Anyway, I'm including two tracks here. As I continue to finish the editing of the material (several hours worth) I may post more.

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. ![]()

Thank you for providing this. I found the seven flutes and drum track very compelling. I grew up in Papua, Indonesia, on the south coast. Finding tracks of original recordings of ethnic music from this part of the world is pretty rare on the internet. The drum is quite powerful, the Papuan drum is unusually resonant. I also found the dissonance and harmony of the flutes strange and evocative.
