Music From the Roof of the World
There's music recorded in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan on this New Sounds program. Composer/vocalist Meredith Monk has just returned from a trip to India and Bhutan where she obtained recordings of young musicians striving - via the talent show, "Bhutan Star,"- to keep the traditional sounds of Bhutanese music alive. The program is an "American Idol"-esque talent show which forces contestants to sing the nation's fading traditional songs.

Can't top that previous comment-just want to say I enjoyed this show a lot. Love those Clogs!
Ummm... thanks? I guess? I will take that to mean that you think I can climb an otherwise un-climb-able mountain of music, and hopefully not that I eat bugs and can lick my own eyeballs.
I have the sense that john Schaefer is to sound as a gecko's feet are to glass.
