"Anak Cu Chiang" The Traditional Music of the "Montagnard People" is the first CD of its kind which features traditional Montagnard musicwith a booklet of songs, rare photographs, historical commentary, and translations of the compositions. A grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation to the Vietnam Highlands Assistance Project (VHAP) helped finance the production costs for the recording. Themusic includes lyrics and instrumentals from the five major tribal groups: Bahnar, Jarai, Rhade, Koho, and Mnong. This CD marks a victory in the cultural preservation of our people whoare in peril of losing our distinctive culture and ethnic identity both in Vietnam and the West. Many of the songs have been composed and performed by talented elders who would have never been able to record such songs in Vietnam at the present time. Music which is included highlights instrumentals with the "cing","dingbuot" "ding nam," " trung" and "ding tak ta", and also includes the very intricate and poetic "Klei Kut, Klei Due" narrative chant among other selections. We hope this CD will deepen your understanding and appreciation ofMontagnard culture and history. By making a purchase, you are takinga stand in supporting the efforts to preserve our Montagnard Heritage. Thank you. To Order: The Montagnard
