     Recorded by John Levy in 1971 and released by Lyrichord in the
     mid-'70s, this comprises the second part of Levy's whole
     enterprise: to capture not only the sacred music of the
     Tibetan ritual in Bhutan, but all aspects of the native folk
     music as well. John Levy was a London ethnomusicologist who
     took refuge in Tibetan Buddhism, and recorded -- with his
     nagra-stΘreo -- both sacred and secular music. This completely
     remastered folk and instrumental release follows the Tibetan
     Buddhist Rites from the Monasteries of Bhutan album of ritual
     and chanting, and features performances on both Tibetan and
     Bhutanese lutes and fiddles, beautiful folk songs, and a part
     of a drama of Tibetan origin performed by a troupe of yak and
     cow herdsmen of eastern Bhutan. The latter is particularly
     compelling, the standout performer being Go-Te Do-Pe, who
     sings and accompanies himself on the dramnyen, a Bhutanese
     lute. His two songs bear an eerie resemblance to the blues of
     Junior Kimbrough and other Mississippi hill country musicians.
     This is real blues from the top of the world.
