NXW 76092-2

This album features folk songs from the Austronesian aboriginal ethnic minority groups living in Taiwan: Amis, Atayal, Saisiyat, Tsou, Paiwan, Rukai, Bunnun, Seediq and Truku. These groups are distributed across the island – from mountainous areas and high plateaus to flat plains and coastlines – adhering to various beliefs, lifestyles and musical cultures. Listening to this album in its entirety feels like flying across the island with a kite camera, overlooking all of the people living with their traditions. One minute you are put into the scene of a sacred ceremony, the next into a hunting trip or a wedding. • The aborigines of Taiwan have many different songs to accompany daily activities: people sing when they are seeding, when they are weaving, and when they are putting a child to sleep. These songs are therefore not remnants of the past, the people singing these songs are still living in their tribes and following traditional lifestyles.
