Bunong Lullabies est une collection de comptines réalisée par la tribu des Bunong, dans la province du Mondulkiri au Cambodge. Ces morceaux commencent par l'énonciation du titre suivi par des chants en duo a cappela de voix féminines. Les Bunong militent pour la préservation de leurs culture et traditions; comme en témoigne cet enregistrement réalisé par leurs soins, celui-ci recense l’intégralité de leurs chants traditionnels. Chantés dans une langue qui leur est propre, cet album nous berce par ces vocalises douces et naïves. ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ Bunong Lullabies is a collection of songs performed by the Bunong tribe, in Mondulkiri province in Cambodia.

Hommage à NYEL CHE. En juin 2015, j'enregistrais Jun et Sokroun de la communauté des Bunong au Cambodge (Indigenous Music of Cambodia #4 ||| Bunong Community - Folk songs). En peu de temps, le climat de confiance s'installe. L'un de leurs amis transfert sur ma clé USB, 100 chansons écrites par ce peuple en me disant: "Partage cette musique avec la terre entière". Sur cette centaine de chansons aux auteurs inconnus, aux productions DIY, j'en découvre une vingtaine me donnant des frissons, sonnant comme un vieil enregistrement de Daniel Johnston, jouées par une sorte de guitare hybride et me rappelant étrangement la musique de mon frère, Gregaldur. Après plusieurs mois de recherche, je retrouve l'auteur de ces mélodies. NYEL CHE. Aveugle, il crée, cette cithare composée d'une planche de bois en guise de corps, utilisant boites de conserve comme résonateurs, aligne des cordes de part et d'autre de la planche, un côté pour la mélodie, l'autre pour l'accompagnement et l'accordage se faisant à l'aide de simples petits morceaux de bois. Nyel Che décédait en 2014, il était dans sa trentaine. Il était le musicien des chutes d'eau de Bou Sra, province de Mondulkiri, Cambodge et le seul à maîtriser son instrument. Enregistrement réalisé par la communauté des Bunong. Date inconnue. Photo: Julien Poulson. Merci à Oum Rotanak Oudom, fondateur de The Cambodian Vintage Music Archive pour son aide. ▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ ▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ ▲▲▲▲ ▲ Tribute to NYEL CHE. June 2015, I recorded Jun and Sokrun from the Bunong tribe of Cambodia (Indigenous Music of Cambodia #4 ||| Bunong Community - Folk songs). It didn't take long to build trust. One of their friends, transfered on my USB stick, more or less a hundred songs written by the community and said to me: "Share this music with the whole world". On these hundred songs of unknown authors and DIY productions, I discovered twenty of them which reminded me of Daniel Johnston’s old recordings or the music of Gregaldur, my beloved brother. After several months of research, I found the author of these melodies, NYEL CHE. Blind, he created this zither which is made from a wooden board. He used cans as resonators, aligned strings on either side of the board, one side for the melody, the other as accompaniment. The tuning is done with small pieces of wood. Nyel Che passed away in 2014, he was in his thirties. He was the sole musician of Bou Sra waterfalls, Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia and the only one to master his instrument. Thanks to Oum Rotanak Oudom, founder of the Cambodian Vintage Music Archive.

Last of the Elephant Men (2015) :
For centuries the Bunong indigenous people on the Cambodian-Vietnamese border lived with elephants, believing they shared the same destiny. Today, as the forests and rivers both man and animal depend on are threatened, their fates seem even more inseparable. Last of the Elephant Men follows over a period of time several members of the tribe as they attempt to save the animal that once defined their way of life and may hold the key to their own survival.
