(Songs of the Inuit) [JVC Japan]
Inuit song in friendly competition includes using your opponents mouth as a resonating cavity, the general idea being to win by making your opponent tire first, or make them fall about laughing. The most significant cover-note points to the fact that this traditional game has remained unchanged in recent times because of the parallel preservation of the Inuit language. Touché

ZULYA .... Tatarstan (former USSR)
Vo pole kolesichki 3'25
(Journey of Voice) [independent]
Zulya now lives in Hobart, and says that she has been inspired by the cultural diversity that Australia offers. Hence her disc has a wide range of material from across the globe. Highly recommended.
