Ihan 1'49
(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. You can hear these two women fall about laughing twice in this recording.

Regis GIZAVO .... Madagascar
Tsikaholy 4'51

Profusely overdubbed, but a resulting rich vocal sound and pumping accordian like that of Clifton Chenier. You'll also find this song on the well-constructed "Indigo Africa" compilation.

(b) Seated nude - Taqsim in 'blue' mode 3'46
(Le regard nu - The Naked Look) [Auvidis / Silex]
Portraits of women. Oud and bouzouki played while "viewing" live nude models. The intermittent interjections in Hungarian translate as seductive and suggestive things like - "tell me a story, my passion-petal honey-bubble blossom-bottom dribble-beak" etc... OK just kidding, but the sentiment is correct.
