“Alash” Throat Singers of Tuva
“Alash” takes its name from the Alash River, which runs through the musicians’ native region of Tuva. In 1999 they formed the ensemble that evolved into Alash. The musicians have all been trained in traditional Tuvan music since childhood, but they also know and love western music. They add non-traditional instruments, and they draw upon their knowledge of complex rhythms and western harmonies to expand their musical possibilities.
