HEAR THE WORLD week 30 (repeat week 4)
"...a performance by Huong Thanh Asian Colours: traditional Vietnamese singing accompanied on the koto (Japanese zither) and the erhu (Chinese violin), the enchanting colours of Huong Thanh’s voice are beautifully set off by the spare accompaniment.
New, refreshing sounds from the West Javan orchestra Sambasunda, which combines gamelan sounds with influences from jazz, classical Western music and Brazilian rhythms. Colourful, adventurous music which alternates exuberant ecstasy and rural restraint." [RNW-host Dheera Sujan]
