There are nearly impossible divisions to be made, each with its pitfalls. We have chosen a geographical style even though there are many overlaps in these various countries and regions.
These regional sections are merely a guide, are usually somewhat out-of-date, and are not the only content on the site. You will find much more by searching the site:
Reviews of recordings from or influenced by Asia:
Japan and Okinawa
Indonesia
China and Nepal
Tibet
Central Asia and Russia
Asian Sub-Continent (India, Pakistan, Nepal, etc)
Middle East and Persia
South East Asia (Viet Nam, Thailand, Burma, Laos, etc...)
General Asia and Middle East (cross-national fusions and what we haven't sorted out yet.)
More regional pages are coming soon
