Recording information: Camp David Studios (04/2002-11/2002); Wind Over The Earth (04/2002-11/2002); Wulu Village, Taitung, Taiwan (04/2002-11/2002).

This collaboration between the Wulu Bunun--amateur vocalists from the Taiwanese region of Wulu--and cellist David Darling is no average "world music" project. While albums like BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB or Ry Cooder's duets with Malian guitarist Ali Farka Toure have the polish and overall sound of contemporary North American music, MUDANIN KATA is comparatively unadorned, maintaining a somewhat indigenous and "na�ve" sound. The Wulu Bunun consist of both children and adults, and their unusual choral sound may remind some Western listeners of gospel, field hollers, and campfire sing-alongs. The harmonies, though, are utterly distinctive. Darling's cello joins the Wulu Bunun in an unobtrusive manner, adding bowed backing or simple, repeating figures, or arpeggios in a way that blends naturally with the group's performance. Though there are a couple solo spots for both cello and group singing, the majority of the album consists of these delicately balanced duets. The performances were captured in a valley near Bunun, so the recordings have a wide, open-air feel to them that perfectly complements the organic, soul-stirring music.
New Age Retailer (pp.92-3) - "[A]n unusual, deeply engaging crossover album." Mojo (Publisher) (p.90) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]hese are complete songs, and eerie things they are too....The three cellos fit the mood perfectly....Unusual, but definitely a treat."
