Name: Shan State Garage Rock (Myanmar/Burma) (RIAFC 036) by RADIO IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY
Duration: 52 min 56 s
Description: Obscure cassette of garage rock from Shan State (Burma/Myanmar). The information available to me lists the artist as Sai Ngao Luen (ၸႆၢးငဝ်းလိူၼ်). But some say this sounds like Saing Saing Maw.

“Just a killer Brazilian late 60s early 70s playlist, some weird cuts and others that are completely sublime and gorgeous yet a bit odd. I can listen to this sh*t forever. Brazil has its own pulse unlike anywhere else” – Alan Bishop

Listening to Brazil ... with Alan Bishop (RIAFC 048)

Inspired by Bronislaw Malinowski’s (1935) Coral Gardens and their Magic, this mixtape features lush forest soundscapes culled from vintage field recordings, excerpts from ethnographic films (Dead Birds, Kama Wasi, and Cannibal Tours), and the vibrant and haunting melodies of bamboo flutes, fugue-like singing, love songs, funeral music, insect electronica and more. Special thanks to B.G at the ishin-den-shin blog, Thomas Ladonne at MusicRepublic, and bolingo69 for sharing some of these records with us.
