This is part one of a two part compilation of international music I made on the occasion of an (open-minded) friend’s wedding. For the most part, the music is historical, raw, and roughly produced — made for the pleasure of the local communities rather than with thought to how it would be heard or experienced by outsiders. On the whole, the compilation is challenging but enormously rewarding listening. This part has (in order) music from Burundi, Congo, Sudan, Turkey, Peru, West Timor (Indonesia), North India, Mali, Kenya, Sumatra (Indonesia), Senegal, Colombia, Somalia, Ukraine, Mali, Peru, Japan, Southeast Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Sierra Leone, Japan, Austria, China, Austria, Quebec, and Austria.
