Voices Of The Rainforest: A Day In The Life Of The Kaluli People
VOICES OF THE RAINFOREST is the soundscape of a day in the life of the Kaluli people as they go about their work and play.  The fifteenth title in THE WORLD series, it was recorded with Mickey Hart's state-of-the-art field recording gear by Dr. Steven Feld, of NYU-- who has spent part of every year for nearly two decades among the tribal people of Bosavi, in his own rainforest longhouse which was built for him by the Kaluli.  For his tireless work on their behalf -- including his founding of the Bosavi Peoples Fund -- he was awarded the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 1991.  His closeness to the people afforded him an amazingly candid recording, and the quality of the recording equipment yielded among the most pristine aural experiences of the rainforest ever available to urban ears.
