"Instrument carpenter" Ben Hume makes music on instruments he crafts himself, and his work encompasses over 20 countries around the globe. He is also the leading authority on the evolution of musical instruments before the year 1200. As an instructor, his students are master craftsmen and adept "trance healing musicians," trained in principles of healing music traditions as ancient and widespread as Central Asian Shamanism, Sufism, and Native American spiritual practices. On this episode of New Sounds, get a taste of Hume's CD "Fula Flute," and much more.
