Title:	Meets Kyaw Kyaw Naing

Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	CA 21023CD

"Bang on a Can meets Burma in this cross-cultural collaboration with legendary composer and percussionist Kyaw Kyaw Naing. Naing is a renowned master of the pat waing (also known as the Burmese Drum Circle), a set of 21 separately tuned drums played melodically at lightning fast speed. Niangs blazing tempos and blistering musicality have made him famous throughout Southeast Asia and he has become highly sought after as a composer of music for film and as a live performer at Burma's traditional kickboxing tournaments. On this CD, working with Western musicians for the very first time, Niang matches his mastery of an ancient drumming technique with the edgy 21st century fireworks of Bang on a Can."
