Various Artists - Drumming And Chanting In God's Own Country

The Indian state of Kerala is in the very southwest of the sub-continent of India, cut off from the mainland by mountains but with a vast coastline on the Arabian Sea. Very green and lush, its musical life centres around the ubiquitous Hindu Temples and differs greatly from the rest of India. This exciting CD demonstrates the range of performance genres including huge percussion orchestras, ancient styles of devotional singing and small ensembles of rare traditional instruments.
