CD-No: ke-31012

  • Original recordings from a South Indian jungle village

  • combination from traditional harmonious chants with perfect studio musics

  • fascination of the blend of two civilizations

Early 1995 we had the idea, to link ethno music with modern pop rhythms. We travelled to the South Indian jungle and met a native who sang for us the chant of Manciu. In Manciu the high tech world of our civilization meets with the uncultivated native mentality of the illiterates from the bush. The blend of the unspoilt singings of a pure natural talent with a crystal clear voice and the cold neon world of studio music is so unique that we think also other listeners will be seized by the fascination of this song.
