Three Rituals / Various

This recording samples musical performances from three fundamentally different cultures: Shang+¦ from Trinidad, Tumba Francesca from Cuba and a pair of night songs from the Yemenite Jews in Israel. The collectors explain that the unifying theme of this early recording is "music of ritual," focusing primarily on the power of rhythm to induce trance and ecstatic possession. A listener may be better advised to listen to each tradition independently for it's intrinsic value (or consider parallels simply between Shang and Tumba Francesca).
