"Ninkasi" is now available to the world ! It's an adaptation of a hymn dedicated to goddess Ninkasi, recounting the stages in the brewing process. The text is written in Sumerian, a language spoken at least 4900 years ago (2900 BC) in Mesopotamia. It was also one of the first script to appear. The Hymn to Ninkasi consists of two songs engraved on clay tablets dating from the 18th century BC. The first song describes step by step the process of brewing Sumerian beer. The second describes the vessels in which the beer is brewed and served. All this is done by the goddess herself This song is based on a 11:4 polyrythm on frame drum loop, with throat singing. It's the second part of the triptych after "H₃rḗḱs Dei̯u̯ós-kwe". I humbly try to pronounce it to the best I can, with several months of studying phonology and phonetic of Sumerian.
