"This record is surely unique. It was published a few years ago only in Greenland by Ulo. We took the decision to enlarge the distribution of this tribute to traditions and roots of the Inuit culture.This is more than an hour of ultra-rare documents, the testimony of a century of Inuit recordings! As a guide through this abundant material, we included the complete notes from the original booklet... Notes, comments and photos. A helpful 24 pages complement not only for purists. Voices recorded in Greenland almost hundred years ago on wax glader cylinders for today, hearing a lost shamanic story, a duel-song, a mournful melody, this record presents an unique collection of drumdance and songs. 55 historical recordings of traditional Greenlandic music recorded between1905 (by the British ethnologist William Thalbitzer) to 1987 and collected by the Danish ethnomusicologist Michael Hauser. This is -- beyond the document in itself -- a way to be lost in time and space. Hope, happiness, mourning, humanity is right there."
