Another flawless and thorough musical interrogation into the ancient world of traditional Persian music from ethnographic experts Ocora. This one focuses on the south-easterly province of Baluchestan, an area which shares its boundaries with Afghanistan and Pakistan known for it's more varied, tribal culture. Musically it's reflected in this collection, offering highly atmospheric pieces of ancient folk music that's been passed down orally through the generations that are much less polished than the more traditional Persian classical offerings. Excessive liner notes, explanations and beautiful photographs included in the accompanying booklet. (Vinyl & Sleeve NM, Incl. Booklet).
