  • Description

    The Chinese province of Yunnan has long been a treasure trove for ethnomusicologists, however its totally unique musical heritage has largely remained a mystery to the wider world, this Rough Guide uncovers both the ancient and the innovative sounds from this magical land.

    Yunnan is the most diverse province in all China, and a great source of unique and varied folk sounds and is home to hundreds of instruments and singing styles, mostly found nowhere else in the world. It features new and original recordings by artists never-before heard outside of China who are reviving the folk traditions of Yunnan and rediscovering what is lost or dying. An album which gives a true picture of Yunnan's current musical soundscape, whilst also featuring the internationally recognized artists Shanren, Manhu and Puman.
