Résumé
The Jarais are a predominant group in the central plateau of Vietnam, 250 000 people and a much smaller community in north east Cambodia, around 20 000 people. They belong to the austronesian family, like the Chams or Ede, with other ethnic groups of the area, they share a lot musically, especially the fascination for gong playing in animist ceremonies, but also similar bamboo instruments. On this cd you can listen to various ceremonies and songs, recorded in Tang ji village near the vietnamese boarder. The funeral ceremony was particularly impressive, lasting 3 days gathering 400 people, having build up a huge totemic structure for the corpse and killing 5 buffaloes while 13 gong players and a drummer were walking, performing around the coffin.
