The Czech band Čankišou

The Canki people (the Single-legged) are only vaguely recorded in legends handed down in sacred texts. We can find notes about them in some records from the Middle Ages too, such as a Mandevill´s travel book (John Mandevill – about 1300-1372, an English doctor, mathematician and traveller). He writes there: “… and in that country there are people on some hills who have only one leg but who are more handy than the others. The leg is so big that being risen it gives shadow to all body when the person is lieing.” It is possible to draw conclusions from these documents that the original place where the Canki people lived was in a small area in the deserted fields in the mountains between today´s Turkey and Syria. They used their big and developed leg not only to move but to create shadow in open sandy areas. (see a picture by Arthur Layard – from an English issue by C. Grant, Westminster 1895).

That looks like my kind of party.
Mine too, C.H.! I want to go to that cafe each time I watch!
I’ve never heard music like this ever. It is lovely.
Very unique and oddly haunting. Thanks Maureen.
Strange and beguiling music.
