The second volume -- of a projected four -- in Sub Rosa's reissue
of John Levy's historic 1971 field recordings from Bhutan centers
around less religious -- though no less spiritually moving --
music. Tibetan and Bhutanese Instrumental and Folk Music includes
fine examples of social music for instruments and voices. There are
Bhutanese seven-string lutes (called dramnyen), whistle flutes,
folk songs from the Chhokhor, Bumthang, Tongsa (songs by groups of
men, and followed by a group of women), Paro, and eastern Tibet.
There are songs by yak herdsmen, dance songs with cymbals and drum
accompaniment, two-string fiddle tunes, and an oracle's dance for
welcoming important guests with Tibetan lutes and drums. Lest
anyone reading this think it would be boring to hear this music,
think again. This is not only strange, it's utterly compelling.
Impeccably recorded and painstakingly remastered from the Lyrichord
masters, this music is haunting, majestic, full of integrity and
goodwill. Bhutan is a consciously guarded county from the outside
world, much in the same way Tibet was before World War II. Visitors
are restricted in number. Levy was invited to Bhutan by its King to
document the musical traditions of his nation. What he discovered
there was a music out of time; otherworldly because it was.
Bhutan's folk music and the sounds and rituals performed in the
country's Tibetan Buddhist Monasteries had rarely, if ever, been
visited by a Westerner, and it is presented here with care. Given
how truly strange and frightening some of the Buddhist ritual music
can be to the uninitiated, this would be a perfect place to begin
for a listener interested in the ancient indigenous musical
traditions of the Himalayan region. ~ Thom Jurek
