Jigme Drukpa: Endless Songs from Bhutan:

Jigme Drukpa is a Bhutanese musician who lived in Norway while studying for a degree in ethnomusicology at the University of Bergen. He plays a range of traditional Bhutanese instruments, the dra-nyen (Bhutanese lute), yangshin (Asian hammered dulcimer), dong lim and zur lim (flutes) and kong-tha (bamboo mouth harp), and sings in the two distinctive styles of Bhutanese secular music, zhung-dra and bö-dra. With this album (he takes the opportunity of introducing this music, rarely heard outside Bhutan, to the wider world.

Bhutan has never been colonised nor occupied another country throughout its history, which means it was able to develop a fairly unique musical tradition without assimilating outside influences. Much of the music is similar to Tuvanese throat singing with its long notes and lute accompaniments. The tunes featuring dong lim or zur lim, on the other hand, are reminiscent of Native American flute music. To Western ears, it certainly all sounds very exotic and evocative of wild, lonely landscapes.
