h concertina player gearóid ó hallmhuráin and piano player ann molloy jim armstrong was there too as singer and guitar player he was living in paris with his wife avril and now lives in brittany this recording is live with the little usual trouble with the balancing between the instruments but we can feel the atmosphere of that night tunes and songs are introduced briefly in english or french and all the lyrics are avalaible snakes alive is a reference to st patrick who is said to have chased all the snakes out of ireland snakes symbolizing paganism crushed by christianity the choice for that kind of title expresses the change of mind occuring in irish society among younger people who rejected the power of the catholic church and all its misdeeds and scandals which were beginning to be

indonesie musiques toradja et bugis music of the celebes indonesia toraja and bugis music anthologie de la musique des peuples 1976 amp 7 2906 i m glad to post here the last album issued by bernard dupaigne and his label this collection is now completed on this blog because i really enjoyed all these recordings and the information with them i have always thought that this kind of work is essential to understanding other peoples and consequently to the respect we owe them dupaigne was born in 1943 and is still alive he was a expert on afghanistan worked for the musée de l homme in paris wrote a book about the afghan fiasco from a french perspective and was the founder of this label celebes is an island east of borneo in indonesia but is better known by its indonesian name sulawesi meaning the iron trident due to its shape the island is home to indigenous peoples 114 different languages are spoken there some of whom are muslim or christians but whose ancient customs were still very much alive at the time of the recordings especially funeral rites sulawesi was colonized by dutch people mainly but portuguese and english traders were present as well we can hear the influence of western type of songs on tracks a8 and b8 on b3 the violin is used but the music is more local also islamic influences are quite present in parts of the island like on b5 where yusuf landong plays a local lute similar to lutes found in borneo or the philippines but sings in a yemeni way to my ears the use of circular breath is also a middle east way of playing reed instruments like on b6 and b7 these recordings were the work of jeannine koubiç and christian peiras during three ethnographic fieldwork between 1967 and 1975 on behalf of the centre for documentation and research on south east asia and the indonesian world they wrote an interesting text which covers several aspects of this music and culture this second hand album is not in perfect condition and some of the recordings have some distorsion but it s a very interesting production ending with a lovely song by children lute and spoons on b10 text in french and english download wav à june 12 2026 2

merry ottin java sunda country traditional music and songs recordings made in bandung by merry ottin alvarès 1969 ld 110 merry ottin 1929 2003 was a writer explorer and photograph who worked in turkey to study the hittite civilization but mostly in indonesia for years he made the most of his stays to record musicians here in bandung the main city in sunda country but as often like other explorers he was not a specialist of the local music and here he got helped by viviane sukanda research fellow at the cnrs who analysed the recordings and wrote the text as well as the lyrics and their translation into french so back then in 1969 it was important to have some references especially since this album was maybe the first one to present sundanese music to a french audience as sukanda says gamelan music was already known and has been since the time of debussy in france at least among a circle of intellectuals and artists sunda music is based on the suling flute and different types of zithers the flute being the leading instrument which gives the tone to the singers v sukanda highlights the fact that there are no professional musicians so all the musicians here are amateur ones although the flute player oyo suwardi is considered as a master as track 7 shows there are one female singer imas permas and two male singers three zithers provide the base on which the suling and voices build the melodies two musical scales are used pelog which is known elsewhere in indonesia and sorog specific to sunda a great type of music immediately distinctive text in french download wav

home or in a studio it s not specified trân quang hai is trân van khê s son born in saigon but raised in france he was very involved in the french revival movement at the end of the sixties bringing vietnamese music and instruments onto folk stages he was one the founders of the first folk club in paris and france in 1969 with john wright and catherine perrier among others i remember seeing him on tv on wednesday afternoons when i was a kid in a programme called epinettes et guimbardes launched in 1971 by lionel rocheman trân was very popular with his spoons which he used to accompany american or whatever folk songs or dances track a7 is a good example of his talent he plays the vietnamese sixteen string zither the two string fiddle and the monochord he sings as well as his wife

musique des peuples 1977 amp 7 2904 danièle vazeilles was a scholar at the university of montpellier france she went to the usa in order to meet and work on the plain indians we call sioux between 1969 and 1975 those native americans call themselves lakota meaning friendly people as it is the case for the other albums of this series d vazeilles wrote a presentation text which is useful if you don t know anything about indian nations she attended rallies known as pow wow where indian people can express their unity and take part in their culture through singing and dancing most of the tracks are war dances 6 out of 13 sung by men and women sometimes the album starts with the sioux national anthem expressing indian fidelity to the american flag despite a tragic history that saw a large indigenous people nearly disappear the sound level is variable at times because of the different places and time of recordings but also because she was not always close to the singers and had to adjust the recording level it was at the time a good way to discover this culture through a french production but other interesting albums from canada and the usa have been available since the seventies as well with labels like canyon records or everest for example i must say that this is a borrowed album which had two tracks damaged enough so i replaced them with two other tracks found on

to thank you who have visited this blog over the past five years yes i started this blog on the 8th of may 2021 a few months before i retire i took inspiration from a few brilliant blogs which gave me the idea to post my own records so thanks to you all again this second hand album but in perfect condition i bought quite recently is another item from that french label founded by b dupaigne eric mareschal stayed with laotian hmong between november 1974 and february 1976 the hmong are now scattered over china laos vietnam and thailand they were originally from china but migrated southwards over the last centuries to escape chinese han rule the text by mareschal is informative enough about their history most hmong people left laos after the takeover by the communist pathet lao in may 1975 and settled in thailand in fact only three tracks out of fifteen were recorded in laos while the others were recorded in thailand around 5000 hmong left for france and french guyana in 1975 singing and mouth organ music predominate each track is well presented text in french and english although this is fifty years old i think that this kind of field recordings help us to remember that diversity be it human animal or floral is essential to our survival i believe it was dupaigne s aim to preserve part of this diversity mine is to post all the albums by amp download wav à may 08 2026

chants du japon 1 est songs of japan 1 east le chant du monde 1988 ldx 74442 the french label le chant du monde released many folkways albums for the french market but many have still not been reissued as parts of their catalogue or are not available digitally on folkways records website there are two albums about those songs from japan one for the eastern part of the country and the other for the western part so the eastern part of japan is the island of hokkaido and the eastern part of the island of honshu including sado island the recordings were made in 1961 for folkways but i m not sure about the french release all the songs are performed with a small group of shamisen shakuhachi and percussion players these songs are folk songs of the japanese people fishermen horse drivers for rice husking etc but only the lyrics in french are provided with the titles and the relevant districts hokkaido yamagata miyagi iwate arita tochigi gumma ibaragi saitama hakone nagano sado all these songs are of the min yo genre unfortunatley no singers names were given i borrowed this copy from a library and i kept the text in french only not the pictures download wav à april 08 2026 no comments

la musique des peuples 1976 amp 72902 as far as i know none of the albums issued by this label have been reissued on compact disc or are digitally available which is bad really given the great quality of these field recordings i already posted four of these discs plus this one but there are much more of them i don t have this is a copy of an album found in a library a good while ago as usual the people who recorded in the field always give a good picture of the area where they were about the geography the history or the people they recorded bernard dupaigne as founder of this great label couldn t do less he met the pör people west of cambodia in the cardamom mountain region and the kuy in north cambodia in 1969 and 1970 then cambodia was drawn into de vietnam war dupaigne asks himself in the text he wrote what happened to those people who were heavily bombed between 1970 and 1975 so these recordings are quite precious for us and for cambodian people as well so that young generations might retrieve parts of their culture despite the war and the khmers rouges as i copied the english text as well you can discover in details what these recordings are ...
