VARIOUS / SUBLIME FREQUENCIES - Folk & Pop Sounds of Sumatra Vol.2, Sublime Frequencies

Back in stock! Latest in the Sun City Girls' acclaimed, inspiring Sublime Frequencies series. Folk and pop sounds of sumatra (volume 2) expands our presentation of the world's least-known, outstanding musical improbabilities. From the infectious trance beat of sumatra's folk dangdut music, featuring rabab (violin) or saluang (flute), to the highly-refined and glorious Orkes Gambus (orchestral arabic music with 'gambus' literally meaning 'oud'), said to have been brought to the island by islamic settlers from yemen, The 18 tracks featured here will instantly convince the listener of the expressive beauty and diversity that sumatra has contributed to the world music theater. Most of the musicians on this release are 'minangkabau' or 'minang' people who are devout followers of islam as well as the world's largest matrilineal society (a minangkabau child is the descendent of his/her mother, not father). These tracks (chosen from stacks of old cassettes) were recorded from the 1960's through the 1980's and are all but dismissed by many sumatrans who seem to prefer a more contemporary sound.
