Released: 1982

Field recordings undertaken in Guyana.  Beautifully intimate, otherworldly vocal pieces and accompanied songs.  The recording of 'Goodbye, My Friend' is a heartbreaker. (NM/VG+ -with booklet)

"This recording presents songs of the Warrau, the Carib, and the Arawak Amerindian tribes of Guyana, South America. These families of Amerindian peoples are spread along the rivers and waterways of the Northeast coast of South America, south of the Orinoco and north of the Amazon, but this recording was made entirely within Guyana, where all the three families are well represented..."
