Thanks for this record, bo, loved the transverse flute tracks! I think I hae a documentary with some samples of this flute playing, but I can't remember what its called. Let me check.
This series is great, such good atmosphere, and a strong sense of being there, and also worth appreciating is the well-written, detailed notes. Really the best virtual tour of Papua New Guinea for all of us who won't be going there anytime soon :)
Awesome! Thanks a lot Bolingo!
Each post is an education here, not to mention great fun! I didn't even know of the existence these records before you posted them.
Thank you, sir!
Thank you for your kind comments! Arvind I would like to see that footage of the flutes. Please tell me if you find it.
There is a new great one from this series coming tonight if the winds are forwards... ;-)
And another spectacular one tomorrow night if the wind holds...
