Description
Alash Ensemble is a quartet of master throat singers from Tuva, a tiny republic in the heart of Central Asia renowned for the unique traditional music of its nomadic herdsmen. Alash has expanded on the throat singing tradition with new ideas from the West. Under the guidance of Kongar-ool Ondar (best known to western audiences for his role in the film Genghis Blues), theyve blended western instruments with traditional Tuvan instruments, and experimented with new harmonies and song structures.
    The result bears the mark of both their ancestors and such western artists as Sun Ra and Jimi Hendrix. They have collaborated with the innovative jazz ensemble Sun Ra Arkestra, the bluegrass/fusion/jazz band Bla Fleck and Flecktones, and the classical Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Student Producers Program. They are guest artists on the Flecktones Grammy-winning holiday CD "Jingle All the Way."
