Their releases offer listeners an opportunity to discover captivating rhythms and melodies that transcend borders and celebrate the power of music as a universal language.

The first volume of Glitterbeat's new series of releases: Hidden Musics. Each Hidden Musics release will feature un-mediated 'field' recordings of lesser-known global music traditions. 'Hanoi Masters: War is a Wound, Peace is Scar' is a haunting audio document recorded in the summer of 2014 by Grammy-award winning producer Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Malawi Mouse Boys, The Good Ones). The sepia-tinged songs are sung and played live and direct by elderly Vietnamese musicians using half-forgotten traditional instruments. These musicians all have deep personal connections to the upheavals of the Vietnam War and the album's mesmerizing mood navigates the blurred line between raw beauty and muted sadness.
