Notes for original music added for end credits recording by Marguerite Garner-Kusuhara of Andai in 2006. Andai -Traditional music for Inner Mongolian shamans healing ceremony. A group dance section of a ceremony organized by a shaman, has become a National folk dance of Inner Mongolia. This music at one time was played during part of a week long gathering and session for curing illness brought on by depression, fevers, and for bringing rain. Also, music for story of Bumbalai, girl healed of heartbreak by Andai music and dance. Collected in Yang Xi Mu village in September of 2006. Much thanks to Mr. Vice President Ma Yong Zhen of the SSAIM, Ms. Bai Cui Ying of Tong Liao, local musicans, dancers and officials (and to the cooks!) for hosting, teaching and assisting me in 2006.
