First is this album presenting music of the minorities of
the island of Taiwan.
The album is broken into
sections devoted to: the Hakka, who are a branch of the Han people of Northern
China; the Atayal from the northern mountains of Taiwan; the Ami from the
Taitung Valley; the Bunun who are hill-siders in the south; the Rukai from
south of the Central Mountains; the Puyuma from the south of Taitung; & the
Paiwan from the southern tip of Taiwan. The majority of the works are rather
sparse instrumentally. They are primarily group vocal pieces.
(Music from the Ethnic Minorities of Taiwan),
