Welcome to Singing Frog, bringing you superlative music with a difference from the world.

Rhythms of the Tundra

Red Mountain

Tribal Blood

It’s been a year of growth for Singing Frog, and new releases are becoming ready like fine new wine. There are follow-up albums from Lars-Ánte Kuhmunen and Chief Dancing Thunder in concert with Khomus maestro Spiridon Shishigin: A live musical meeting between three northern indigenous peoples and traditions in Germany: cross-over music played from the roots, invigorating with a raw atavistic musicality.

New Zealand’s David Antony Clark’s new album Tribal Blood is there. Featuring Rawiri Toia, Tribal Blood combines neo-primative grooves with traditional Maori singing and
chanting written and performed by Rawiri Toia of the renowned Māori performing arts group, Te Waka Huia.

And the new European release of Australia’s Fine Blue Thread’s fine debut Red Mountain.

“This gorgeous new collabaration between three Melbourne-based musicians combines the talents of cellist Helen Mountfort (My Friend the Chocolate Cake), Indian-trained tabla player Sam Evans and Australian-Indonesian vocalist/violist Ria Soemardjo.”
