I can't even remember how I met Ribu for the first time, but I do know that for nearly six or seven years he returned to the Liangshan region, his homeland in Southwest China, travelling to every different dialect area, recording and filming again and again. He walked through the villages on the cliffs, stayed in the homes of local musicians, talked by the fire at night, attended the sacred Nimucuobi ceremony for the dead on the snowy mountain, drank alcohol and slaughtered sheep at weddings and funerals. As a native Nuosu people, Ribu is passionate about his own culture and strives to protect it by documenting and recording as much as possible. These recordings are not taken from the tourist attractions, but with the utmost love for his homeland.
WV Sorcerer Productions feel privileged to have the opportunity to work with Eryi Ribu on the release of a series of traditional Nuosu music from Liangshan, and the first chapter will be dedicated to the mouth harp, an ancient instrument that has been telling their stories for thousands of years.
This album is the result of years of work by Eryi Ribu, a selection of recordings from various mouth harp musicians of different ages and from different areas of Liangshan. Some of the musicians live in villages that are inaccessible to outsiders. This is an invaluable collection both as an art form and as a social archive - the pearl of Nuosu culture.
Putting aside the cultural contexts for a moment and just listening to the music, you'll find that this album is full of emotion and musicality, with complex layers of sound. The brass and bamboo mouth harps can have from one to five pieces in a single instrument, and the musician can produce multiple tones simultaneously with a very distinctive melody. It's no exaggeration to describe some parts as psychedelic music, while this music is certainly culturally significant as a heritage of the Nuosu people, it also takes you on a journey to a wider world.
是在怎樣的一個機緣巧合認識的阿布，我已經記不得了，只知道在近六七年之間，他不斷的回到大涼山，踏遍了每一個不同的方言地區，一次次的錄音和拍攝。經過懸崖峭壁，也住過音樂人家里，在深夜生火、交談，有過大雪中超度亡靈的尼姆措畢儀式，也有婚喪嫁娶上的喝酒殺羊。作為彝族人，他熱愛自己的文化，也希望通過這些錄音，對本民族的音樂做最大程度的梳理和保護。這些錄音不是遊客式的“采風”，而是浸透著對自己家鄉最深沈的愛。
巫唱片很榮幸能有這個機會，和阿布（本名：ꇐꑳꒉꁬ 爾衣日布）一起，出版涼山彝族的這一系列傳統音樂，第一輯我們選擇了口弦，古老的樂器，講述著幾千年間的日出日落。
這張唱片里包含的曲目，是爾衣日布經過數年的大量工作，走訪了涼山所有的方言地區，拜訪了眾多不同年齡、不同風格的口弦藝人，錄音匯集而成。其中一些音樂人所生活的村莊，是外族人難以到達的。無論從藝術還是檔案匯集的角度，都是非常珍貴的。
暫時拋開這些沈重的文化背景，如果只從音樂的角度，這張專輯里的口弦演奏也會讓你眼前一亮，我只簡單說一點，彝族口弦材質分為竹子和金屬兩種，傳統的口弦從一葉到五葉簧片都有，可以同時演奏多個聲部並且有相當明顯的旋律，從音色到調式，都有了非常豐富的呈現，加上音樂人的高超技藝，其中豐富的情感和音樂性，我相信你一定可以體會到。有些段落，形容為迷幻音樂也很合適。所以這不只是一份“文化遺產”類型的音樂出品，無論你是否了解彝族的歷史和文化，這張專輯會把你帶入另一個更廣闊的世界。更多的感受，去專輯里聆聽體會吧。
