Various Artists - Hanoi Masters: War Is a Wound, Peace Is a Scar (2015) [Hi-Res]

The first volume of Glitterbeat's new series of releases: Hidden Musics. Each Hidden Musics release will feature "field" recordings of lesser-known global music traditions. "Hanoi Masters: War is a Wound, Peace is Scar" is a haunting audio document recorded in the summer of 2014 by Grammy winning producer Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Malawi Mouse Boys, The Good Ones). The sepia-tinged songs are sung and played live and direct by elderly Vietnamese musicians using half-forgotten traditional instruments.
