ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Alash are masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömi), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. Known for mixing the traditional music of Tuva with contemporary influences, one can find complex harmonies and Western elements—but a decidedly Tuvan sound—in the ensemble’s music.
