    Artist description
    Native Lands is a collection of ethnic folk songs from around the world - arranged, performed and recorded largely with indigenous instruments and some modern aesthetics. Innovative arrangements from the traditional music of Tibet, India, Bulgaria, China, Bali, and Western Africa, and, original compositions inspired by the idioms of these lands, comprise this CD. Reflecting the charm and character of these places, the music instantly takes the listener to a journey of the past, to a world far away.

    Artist History
    In 1979 Sonam and Joel Harrison met at the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, NY during an Art Ensemble of Chicago intensive. They began a musical partnership that lasted on and off for 10 years. Their search for new ways of combining folk songs from around the world and, improvisation, led to this recording, begun in 1987 and completed in 1989. Since then Joel has deepened his involvement with jazz, while Sonam has delved more into folk musics. For both this project represents an early stage in what has been a lifetime committment - the exploration of hybrids between sounds from around the world and American roots. Recorded in Rochester, NY in 1987 and 1989, and re-mastered in 2002, Native Lands is the first CD release from Minds On Hold.
