Manufacturer Description

A collaboration of traditional mountain music recorded in the Nepali Himalayas and the U.S. Appalachian region. Half Appalachian and half Nepali songs featuring performances by Tim O'Brien, Tony Trischka, Riley Baugus, Abigail Washburn, Curtis Burch, Mark Schatz, Aaran and Matthew Olwell, Paul Brown, Danny Knicely, Tara Linhardt, and Buddhiman Gandharba, Manoj Gayak, Ganesh Gandhari, Jagat Bahadur Gandharba from the musician caste of Nepal, known as the Gandharba. While being deeply grounded in the traditions, the music has a unique and new sound as the traditions and the musicians have woven their styles together into a wonderful tapestry of sounds.

''The Mountain Music Project CD beautifully illuminates the parallel experiences of musicians from Virginia and Nepal. We hear these fiddlers and flute players, banjo pickers and drummers playing in new urban environs as well as in their native chicken yards. To so many, they represent a constant in the face of changing times and lifestyles. These honorable troubadours keep the old songs and stories alive, reminding us all where we come from.'' --Tim O'Brien

''When I first listened to the recordings Tara and Danny made and brought back of the Nepali fiddle music, I would have thought it was some old Alan Lomax recordings from up in the Appalachian hills in the 1920's. It really sounded that much like our Old Time music! -- Curtis Burch, Grammy award winning musician and one of the founding members of the legendary and pioneering bluegrass band New Grass Revival.
