Among the 28 tracks you can find sounds of the jungle, everyday songs, community songs, even a lovely track featuring kids laughing and singing (Track 11, Children of the River).
This is more than mere shaman songs, it is a testimony to an endangered culture, and the preservation value alone has justified the purchase. We as a society (white/western culture) are aggressively taking away the living space of these peoples who rely on millennial oral traditions to transmit their culture to new generations, and they too (the new generations) are being destroyed by the penetration of our culture.
