Shared by the man himself this is Kangding Ray‘s performance at the Siestes Electroniques which took place in July at Paris’ Quai Branly Museum –

the largest museum in the world dedicated to non-Western cultures, with a collection of over 300,000 works from Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas

They offer to a select dozen musicians access to the audio collection of the museum and subsequently each artist is invited to reinterpret his explorations with a sound piece or DJ set.

Kangding’s 45 minutes melds the sources of Inuit Throat singing (katajjaq); the vocal music of African Pygmees tribes from Gabon, North Congo, and the Central African Republic; Indian Tabla lessons (Mnemonic syllables) and Zhosa polyphonic voices from South Africa into tribal rhythms, glitches, thuds and all told a quite fantastic listen.
