SUMMARY:Alash Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Enter Alash\, the masters of Tuvan throat singing and tradition
 al Tuvan instruments. They've traveled far and wide to share their insanel
 y unique cultural exports. They even played with banjo virtuoso Béla Flec
 k during their last visit to New Orleans---an ultimate rite of passage. Wh
 ether you're a fan of folk traditions\, adventurous music\, or just want t
 o witness something unlike anything you've ever heard\, this is one of tho
 se performances you'll be talking about long after the last note fades. Al
 ash are masters of Tuvan throat singing\, a remarkable technique for singi
 ng multiple pitches at the same time. Deeply committed to traditional Tuva
 n music and culture\, they are also fans of western music. Believing that 
 traditional music must constantly evolve\, these talented musicians subtly
  infuse their songs with western elements\, creating their own unique styl
 e that is fresh and new but still true to their Tuvan musical heritage. Wh
 at does throat singing sound like? \, \"rdquo\" -> Imagine a human bagpipe
 ---a person who could sing a sustained low note while humming an eerie\, w
 histle-like melody. For good measure\, toss in a thrumming rhythm similar 
 to that of a jaw harp\, but produced vocally-by the same person\, at the s
 ame time.\" --- Newsweek (March 17\, 2006) \, \"rdquo\" -> [Tuvan throat s
 inging] sounds like the bewitching\, remarkably harmonious marriage of a v
 acuum cleaner and a bumblebee. . . . [It] sounds as though the singer has 
 ingested a set of bagpipes\, with a low drone and a high melody issuing si
 multaneously from the same mouth.\" --- New York Times (August 3\, 2013)
