"This CD is dedicated to Serge de Bru. He was 29 years old in September 1970 when we lost his trail in the jungle of the Peruvian Amazon’s Green Hell along with two other adventurers, the French Geraud Puel and the American Robert Nichols. Their goal was to find the mythical city of Paititi, with its roofs and walls made of gold, where the last Incas are supposed to have fled at the arrival of Pizarro's conquistadors. El Dorado! Therefore, this disc of folk music, recorded in Peru by Francois Jouffa in 1975 76, starts and finishes with pieces recorded in situ by the young explorer who has disappeared mysteriously."

“Located on the Tibetan plateau in a valley surrounded by mountains, Lhasa, one of the highest cities in the world with an altitude of 3658m, is “the Land of the Gods”. It has become an essential place of pilgrimage in Tibet as the sacred city has conserved the memory of its ancestral religious practices for ages.

“Canada is a political entity which is not represented by one individual culture, but by various traditions transmitted through immigration during the history of the country. This double boxed set, directed by Martin Duchesne, portrays the multiple aspects. It features Quebec versions of old songs from France, English versions from the United Kingdom and the US as well as bona fide Canadian songs. This perspective of Canadian folklore equally covers the culture of the First Nations, the first Indian nations with a linguistic culture which marked the land as much as French or English-speaking culture (Ottawa, Toronto, etc.). With this set of 57 songs, Fremeaux & Associes presents a historiographical panorama of cultural diversity, a cross-sectional view of all forms and every level of expression, and affirms the country’s extraordinary richness.” Patrick Fremeaux “Contrary to the French anthropological vision which generally consists of studying external cultures often corresponding to the colonized countries, the Canadian anthropology must face the multiplicity of its own culture, shared between the Western heritage and the Indian usual art of “First Nations”. This 2CD set evidently represents the individuality of Canadian’s spirit, based on the diversity of its origins.” Lola Caul-Futy Fremeaux (Anthropology student at Simon Frazer University of Vancouver)
