Burundi, a small landlocked country in East Africa. It possesses a musical cultural heritage utilizing traditional instruments such as the Rwandan Inanga and the Karyenda drum, with which it shares close ties. This 1987 release from the Soviet label Melodiya features a diverse collection of traditional Burundian music. It opens with the astonishing “Mbanzabugabo” performed as if possessed by throat singer Aleksey Kalkin, followed by “Akazehe” a song woven through the intertwining rhythmic vocal patterns of Burundian women, sacred atmosphere of the solo vocal piece “Guhoza Umwana”, "Hozumwana" sung with the traditional Burundian thumb piano, Ikembé, and the magnificent drum ensemble “Ingoma” are among the 11 tracks. Side B, in particular, is movingly fantastic. A1 has light surface noise/scratches that may slightly affect the sound, but otherwise it is in good condition.

東アフリカの小さな内陸国ブルンジ。密接な関係を持つルワンダのイナンガや太鼓カリェンダなど伝統的な楽器を用いた音楽文化遺産を持っています。本作はソ連Melodiyaからリリースされた多様なブルンジに伝わる楽曲を収録した87年の作品。喉歌の歌い手Aleksey Kalkinが宿ったような驚きの”Mbanzabugabo”に始まり、アカゼヘと呼ばれるブルンジの女性が互いに絡み合うリズムの歌唱形式によって紡がれる楽曲”Akazehe”、神聖な空気感に溢れるソロ歌唱”Guhoza Umwana”、ブルンジの伝統的な親指ピアノイケンベと共に歌われる”Hozumwana”、圧巻の太鼓アンサンブル”Ingoma”を含む全11曲。特にB面は感動的に素晴らしいです。もっともっと知られるべきMelodiyaリリース。A1に軽い擦れ/スクラッチあり音に少し影響できますがそれ以外は良好なコンディション。
