Music For Shape-shifters

'FIELD RECORDINGS FROM THE AMAZONIAN LOWLANDS 1981-1985' - Sacred chants, place-names, spirit languages and the astonishing and mesmerizing sounds of trumpet and flute ensembles from a remote Wakuénai (Curripaco) village along the Upper Rio Negro in Venezuela. Recorded by anthropologist Jonathan Hill (1954-2023) as well as the village headman and his sons back in the '80s, these recordings are presented here for the first time.
