    [synopsis] => Missing Music: Voices from Where the Dirt Roads End 
details Grammy-winning music producer and author Ian Brennan's ongoing 
quest to provide musical platforms for underrepresented nations and 
populations around the world.
	In a compact and quick-read format, Missing Music
 collects the latest narratives from Brennan's field-recording treks. 
This edition features a greater emphasis on storytelling and an even 
greater abundance of photos from his wife, Italian-Rwandan 
photographer/filmmaker Marilena Umuhoza Delli.
	Together, they meet
 the elderly shamans of the world's most musical language, Taa, a tongue
 that sadly is dying, with fewer than 2,500 speakers left. The duo 
traveled the most remote roads of Botswana to find the formally nomadic 
people now relegated to small desert towns.
	In Azerbaijan, Brennan
 and Delli ascended to the mountainous Iranian border to record 
centenarians in scattered villages of the Talysh minority, where the 
world's oldest man reportedly reached the age of 168. The result is the 
only record ever released to feature the voices of singers over 
one-hundred years of age.
	Among other tales, Brennan also updates 
the saga of the Sheltered Workshop Singers following COVID, including 
the tragic deterioration of his sister, Jane.
	Arising from the 
more than forty records that Brennan has produced over the past decade 
from underrepresented nations such as Comoros, Djibouti, Romania, South 
Sudan, Suriname, and Cambodia, Missing Music serves as the 
newest suite in the multiverse symphony of the world's most ignored 
corners-the places where countries expire and the "forgotten" live.
