NYTT LAND comment: „The title ‚The Song of the Shaman’s Assistant‘ actually means the song, which the assistant performs when the shaman makes the transition between worlds“, throat singer and multi-instrumenalist Anatoly Pakhalenko clarifies. „Through this song, the helper completes the rite of transition by picking up the rhythm of the shaman’s drum. This track, like all the other songs on this album, is a recording of an authentic Tunguso-Manchu shamanic ritual. Its lyrics have come down to us from ancient Chinese sources. We did not translate the song into a modern language, but recorded it in its most original sound in order to preserve and convey all the energy and ancient power of this traditional shamanic rituals.“
