Recorded by Naxos World, it documents a living heritage spanning multiple ethnic groups across the island. The songs capture ceremonial voices, work songs, and storytelling traditions passed down through generations. What emerges is music deeply connected to landscape and community, often featuring intricate vocal techniques, percussion, and call-and-response patterns that reflect the natural environment and social bonds.
