Nang Hong Suite: Siamese Funera

by Fong Naam

Overview

"Fong Naam" means "bubbles" and is the perfect name for this talented ensemble playing ebullient, happy Buddhist funeral music with cascades of shimmering notes and joyous melodies. Also included is "The Language Suite," an assembly of colorful contrasts in which tunes are invented using the extended musical vocabularies of neighboring cultures. ~ "Blue" Gene Tyranny
