Synopsis

Album Description
* This exotic and meditative collection (perfect for museums, spas, gift stores, Asian societies, and music outlets) revives an ethereal 4,000-year-old instrument (previously evidenced only by beautiful paintings from antiquity), played to perfection by the beautiful Japanese harpist Tomoko Sugawara. * Handsome digipak and 16-page booklet feature fascinating liner notes by art archeologist Bo Lawergren detailing the 4,000-year history of the Kugo and its music, illustrated with beautiful paintings from antiquity. * The musical program juxtaposes works from Chinese, Islamic, Persian, and Spanish antiquity with the debut of new compositions for Kugo by award-winning composers Stephen Dydo, Robert Lombardo, Kikuko Masumoto, and Almir Mahyar Tafreshipour. * Sugawara is joined by renowned flute visionary Robert Dick on alto flute and NYC-based Turkish master musician/ethnomusicologist Ozan Aksöy on percussion.
