Live in Karlsruhe, Germany 14.05.10Thanks for Marco K??gel (circularts.com) for welcoming us in Karlsruhe!

Finally Tsaaj Nplaim flute from H???mong people of Laos available at our shop! This is limited offer, just seven of them are in stock. Nadishana added one extra hole for the left thumb to each flute to extend the range, otherwise the native tuning is left as it is. Tsaaj Nplaim has very haunting, tender sound, very special and instantly recognizable. The flute made from bamboo.

The approach of H???mong people to playing is very different from our western approach and very unique: for example this instrument used by them to tell stories (literally). When player performs the audience knows what story is about.

Note: the tone reference of each flute is different. on the video Nadishana plays on two of them.

Julia Surbapyrography on wood, 2010The Kuzheshu-Fish was often honoured with special songs in Ancient Kuzhebar. When somebody wanted to know something about relatives or friends who were far away, he sang a question-song to Kuzheshu.Kuzheshu-Fish knew everything what had even happen under or above the earth. It lived in water and all secrets and mysteries, which were kept in rivers, lakes, seas and oceans, in ground waters and waterfalls, in rain, fog, steam and even in tears of?  humans and animals were for it easy accessible.

This is traditional Tuvan song in non-traditional interpretation, arrangement made by us spontaneously. We had 1 hour of time and we was just celebrating our occasional meeting. In fact this is the combination of ancient tuvan folklore, contemporary fusion jazz, some middle eastern music and kuzhebarian rhythms:)Raphael De Cock - vocals, throat singing (khoomei, kargyraa, sygyt), uilleann pipesDmitry Gorelik - guitarNadishana - hybrid kaval, dan moiRecording made in KKStudio, Gliwice, PolandBig thanks to Krzysztof Kobyli??ski and Michal from KKStudio

         Material - elder tree     D key (C key available as well)     made by Max Brumberg,     Pyrography - Julia Surba     Presentation - Nadishana    <p>Price from 110 EUR (depending on artwork amount). Made by request. Available at our ethnic store now.</p>  <p>Flute decoration consists of fertility symbols and symbols connected with&#160; the ritual of Kuzhebar people called Shuol Khymat.</p>  <p>Shuol Khymat were usually celebrated twice a year ??? at spring (Ashuol Khymat) and at autumn (Yshuol Khymat). Ancient Kuzhebar people considered the sun as a source of the great power, which can be used in various ways. Their method of solar energy utilization is very similar to the description of photosynthesis process. We think it???s connected with their belief that human and plant worlds are not separated, more than humans are partly plants. It might be said that kuzhebar people had a peculiar knowledge about what we call now photosynthesis and vitamin D fixation.</p>  <p>Most relevant translation of ???Shuol Khymat??? term is Photosynthesis Dance (capturing-solar-energy dance)</p>  <p>Unfortunately the complete ritual is lost, but we had used some elements of it which are still extant. Normally the ritual had to take place in a very sunny day. It was accompanied by playing on overtone flute and by special movements. Ancient kuzhebar people believed that flute sounds in combination with special dance help to capture the solar energy in a most efficient way. </p>
