BAMBOO
CEDAR OAK
Nigel Shaw, Guillermo Martinez and Hiroki Okano
This
beautiful and unique album features Dartmoor composer NIGEL
SHAW and two internationally renowned musicians from America
and Japan, GUILLERMO MARTINEZ and HIROKI OKANO. Together
these three musicians from different corners of the planet
have produced a rare and special collection of recordings
that evoke a unity of spirit and a global sound. The music
moves between gentle flute pieces performed on three Native
American flutes, traditional Buddhist and Native American
prayers, and powerful drumming chants. The range of music
reflects the diversity of ancient traditions on this earth
and the realisation that, regardless of our different cultures,
we all sing the same songs.
Instruments
include: Native American flute, Irish whistle, bamboo flute,
guitar, samisen (Japanese lute), frame drums, djembe, traditional
rattles, and voices.
Guest musicians; Domenic DeCicco from Praying for the Rain
- vocals and guitar. Shaun Farrenden from Riven/Global -
Tibetan Horn. Carolyn Hillyer - vocals.
Bamboo Cedar Oak is available on CD for £13
