Naxi songs from Tacheng, by Ms. XIAO Rulian

肖汝莲，是丽江市塔城乡著名纳西族民间歌手。录音时（2002年），肖汝莲女士73岁。肖汝莲女士的儿子，纳西族歌手和文光先生安排我录她母亲的音，给予了大力帮助，在此万分感谢！希望我的录音工作对喜爱纳西歌曲、纳西文化、纳西语的人士能尽一点绵薄之力。 这六首歌没有通过任何处理，是直接从DAT母带转录而来的。

The recording of the six songs presented here was generously arranged by the son of Ms. Xiao Rulian, the Naxi singer and artist He Wenguang. Heartfelt thanks are due to Mr. He for his enthusiastic response to my suggestion of making this recording--a token of his lifelong dedication to the preservation of Naxi art.
