All tracks are interesting thinking about their homemade instruments. 1: 1:28 bowed strings, whistles, dog bark and vocal wails ***2: 3:29 mellow, faster with great call & response male vocals 3: 4:26 mid to faster, vocal wails with chorus 4: 1:55 slow to mid tempo A CAPPELLA 5: 3:43 mid tempo, vocal chorus with mostly strummed & bowed strings **6: 3:49 mid tempo INSTRUMENTAL 7: 2:35 mid tempo bowed strings and vocals **8: 2:49 mid tempo A CAPPELLA 9: 4:11 mid to faster vocals and strummed strings long fade at end 10: 4:00 mid tempo strummed strings and vocals 11: 5:06 mid to faster, chants, wails, instruments 12: 1:24 interlude, collage of sounds, whistles, chants & instruments. | ||
