NOTE:
”Our journals and recording equipment were ultimately confiscated and stolen by the MNLF rebels. We escaped with a single cassette, the clothes on our back, and our lives.”
— David Blair Stiffler
This is a compilation of ethnographic field recordings captured on tape during a life-risking ventures into the Philippine by veteran Folkways documenter David Blair Stiffler. As written in the liner notes on this release, Stiffler simply carried on recording while in captivity, and many of those works were confiscated by the rebel faction who abducted them. Presented on this album are the sounds of cultural groups living lives of extreme isolation in the mountainous Philippine regions of Nueva Ecija, Aurora, and Luzon.
