    I know you're not maintaining this, but just so you know: The album Mon-O-Lah by Nagane Aki is in full tracks on last.fm and is a world-folk-fusion thing featuring Aki playing the mukkuri, also known as the Ainu jew's harp. (If you have an urge to correct me and say "mouth harp" or "jaw harp," I can assure you that I'm obsessed with Turkic-Altaic and all other Siberian and Central Asian music, and I'm Jewish, and I call it a jew's harp; so don't worry about it.) The thing is that the album has vocals that sound like field recordings. I assume they are in Ainu, but on the other hand, maybe Aki just got herself Willy Lomax's Smithsonian compilation CD/s and threw some random shamanistic chant on there. I cannot tell the Tungus language group from the Paleo-Siberian and so forth (and I know Ainu is neither), though the chant doesn't sound Turkic. So if whoever recommended the above artists to you can recognize Ainu when they hear it, you'd probably want them to check the album and make sure it ~is~ in Ainu. The presence of the mukkuri doesn't make it a done deal, and I don't know how culturally Ainu (versus assimilated Japanese) the artist herself is. The album is also for sale at eMusic.
