Description
"One of Tuva’s leading throat singing ensembles, Chirgilchin returns to Ashkenaz with an evening of folk-rooted music and otherworldly singing. Few musical folk styles have caught the Western public imagination in the last decade as much as the amazing throat singing of Tuva, a country that sits between Mongolia and Siberia, as removed from the rest of the world as can be found. Many maps don’t even show its boundary. With its blend of Central Asian roots music and extraordinary vocal techniques, Tuvan throat singing has opened the consciousness of the contemporary world to 'Cowboy Music from the Wild East.'"- ashkenaz.com
