Back by popular demand! The Robert E. Brown Center for World Music and the Spurlock Museum present Alash.
Alash are masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. One can find complex harmonies, western instruments, and contemporary song forms in Alash's music, but its overall sound and spirit is decidedly Tuvan.
This event is partially supported by Professor Bruno and Mrs. Wanda Nettl and by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
