民族音楽学研究者Sylvia Mooreがオランダの音楽家/民族音楽学者Bernard Broereと共に発表した70年の作品。60年代から行ってきたアフリカ各地での調査・研究を元に、伝統楽器やギター、ドラム、自身の歌を交えて表現した全18の楽曲を収録。世界各地の伝統歌を親密な空気感を満たすように見事にアレンジさせています。ガーナ語で歌われサンサ、ひょうたんの共鳴楽器、ベル、トーキングドラムによるアレンジを施した”Ashyee Tatale”、流麗な無国籍ドリーミーフォーク”The Water Is Wide”、コンゴの現地曲をギター、フルート、ボンガで演奏した”O Boitonde”、オーボエと親指ピアノによるノーサンブリア地方の楽曲”Maa Bonny Lad”など全編素晴らしい。鮮やかなジャケットも一度見たら忘れません。年々稀少になってきています。
