Free Music Notes for Tuva: Voices From the Center of Asia
Free Music Review: Best of the best
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD presents different styles of Xoomei, or throat singing, from an ethnomusicologist's perspective. It features some of the most incredible sounds on this Planet. It has been recorded in situ, so don't expect studio quality on each and every track. To my taste it's a great listening. Nonetheless, whoever is looking for "easy"-listening music featuring Xoomei, might find it a little dry, and may want to look for some records by Huun Huur Tu, Egschiglen or the like.
Tuva: Voices From the Center of Asia Poster
These highly acclaimed recordings, made in Tuva in 1987, reveal a remarkable and beautiful tradition of bi- and multi-phonal "throat singing". These traditional songs capture the style and role of music among the scattered herding communities in Tuva, a territory lying to the northwest of Mongolia, where music is part of the relationship of humans with the natural and supernatural worlds.Opera & Vocal Music CDs
