For centuries, musicians from all parts of the world have crafted musical instruments using locally sourced materials. Nineteen examples of the music performed on these instruments make up the Musics of the Earth: Astonishing and Rare Instruments from the UNESCO Collection. The result is a dazzling array of instrumental music representing the music of peoples on the continents of South America, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific archipelago of the Solomon Islands.The liner notes, in English and French, provide brief background information about each of the selections. This album is part of the UNESCO Collection of Traditional Music.
