Footsteps From Home

This instrumental music was written and recorded by Jamie MacLean at Butterstone Studios in Scotland during the autumn and winter of 2019 while creating the music for the award winning film "Sherpas Speak". 

The Sherpa people are a distinct indigenous group with a rich heritage and culture. Preserving local traditions and the way of life is a key priority for those that live in the Khumbu - the Sherpa homeland. The film provides a voice for their concerns as many feel their traditional life is under threat. The album is a varied and evocative musical  journey.
