Dream Songs and Healing Sounds in the Rainforests of Malaysia
Various Artists

The Temiar people of the central Malaysian rainforest are deeply spiritual. Inspired by their vibrant natural environment, they have developed a musical landscape that evolves from their dreamsdreamsongs. Dreamsongs form the basis for community-wide singing and trance-dancing ceremonies, which celebrate all the important occasions in Temiar society. Proceeds from artist’s royalties are donated to rainforest preservation in Malaysia and to the indigenous peoples there. 21 tracks. "Rhythms that lure you irresistibly away to the land of dreams."
