This is a new CD... but it is not sealed and has our shop sticker on the insert. The case has some scuffs.
Recorded in 1980 in and around the Thar Desert.
This release is from the Music of the Earth CD collection, a comprehensive series of field-recorded traditional music which transports the listener directly into the villages, the homes, the fields, the festivals, the celebrations and the ceremonies of the people of the world. No stages, no studios, no special effects.
Maps, photos and notes from the original recording sessions complement this recording.
