Music reviews of Rough Guide to the Music of the Himalayas
Music Review: exquisite music from the roof of the world
Rating: 4 Stars
It's an excellent idea, doing a rough guide to the Himalayas. Because there is not very much music really from the mountains themselves, this selection has a lot of music inspired by the Himalayas. Hence, there's the Chinese flute song with Japanese percussion titled "Himalayas" the dj mix of Tibetan monks and instruments evoking the atmosphere of the place, the Indian raga inspired by Kashmir, and the collaberation of an American guitarist and Tibetan nun. However, there's also music from the area directly.
It starts with the Steve Tibbetts/nun collaberation, which is just beautiful, followed by Pahadi, a light raga and a trio of Hariprasad Chaurasia, Shivakumar Sharma and another guy, playing Indian flute, santur and tabla. It's very peaceful and light, very happy, and strongly evocative of the Kashmiri scenery it aims to describe; the first two tracks are truly the soudtrack to the Himalayas. Later on there's Bhuddist chanting by nuns and also monks. Awesome stuff.
