Shaman, Jhankri, and Nele: Music Healers of Indigenous Cultures
By Pat Moffitt Cook
Roslyn, NY: Ellipsis Arts, 1997. Compact disc and book.
Although indigenous healers have employed music to restore health through countless centuries, these rhythms, chants, and songs seem endangered. Cook presents eighteen healing rituals recorded in Peru, northern India, Haiti, the San Bias Islands, Nepal, the Amazon, Tuva, Mexico, Korea, Panama, and Tibet.
