World Music on Continental Drift

Over last 6 months, we covered very few Asian countries and last week’s show on Korea motivated us to go to our archive and dust off some of our Asian records and play variety of music from Asian countries without a single country as the theme. We started the show with two tracks by Min Xiao-Fen playing the Pipa, one the hardest instruments to master, followed by a few traditional Japanese and Indonesian songs. And we lowered the tempo to “Tibetan Meditation Music” and ended the coverage of Asian music with two beautiful Chinese folk music by two unknown artist that I came across while looking for songs for the show.

Also you might find a Chinatown in Peru interesting! See the pictures here.
