Intense and passionate, sinawi music descends from an ancient shamanic tradition (as does the solo sanjo form, of which there's an example for two-string fiddle here), but improvisation and emotional ardor are its hallmarks today. A powerful recording particularly notable for impassioned vocals (and in one case oboe lead), it's backed by equally fervent fiddles, lutes, zither and percussion.
