These young master throat singers travel the world to share the ancient cowboy music of their homeland of Tuva, a tiny portion of the Russian Federation in the heart of Central Asia. What does their throat singing sound like? "Imagine a subsonic growl, a bullfrog's croak, some electric barber's clippers and a high-frequency whistle -- all reverberating out of a single larynx at once." (Washington Post) Combine that unlikely palate of sounds with traditional stringed instruments, compelling drums, serene and happy melodies, the unmistakable rolling cantor of horses crossing the prairies, beautiful silk garments, and you have an afternoon of sonic and visual magic that listeners of all ages will enjoy in the moment, and remember forever.
