an evening with
ALASH ENSEMBLE Tuvan Throat Singers

]ALASH are masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. What distinguishes this gifted trio from earlier generations of Tuvan throat singers is the subtle infusion of modern influences into their traditional music. One can find complex harmonies, western instruments, and contemporary song forms in Alash's music, but its overall sound and spirit remain decidedly Tuvan.

Trained in traditional Tuvan music since childhood, the Alash musicians studied at Kyzyl Arts College just as Tuva was beginning to open up to the West. They formed a traditional ensemble and won multiple awards for traditional throat singing in international xöömei competitions. At the same time, they paid close attention to new trends coming out of the West. They have borrowed new ideas that mesh well with the sound and feel of traditional Tuvan music, but they have never sacrificed the integrity of their own heritage in an effort to make their music hipper.

Alash first toured the U.S. under the sponsorship of the Open World Leadership program of the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Arts. Since then they have returned many times, to the delight of American audiences. The Washington Post described their music as utterly stunning, quipping that after the performance, audience members picked their jaws up off the floor.

Alash enjoys collaborating with musicians of all stripes. Since their early partnership with the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra, they have joined forces with musicians across the spectrum, from country to classical to jazz to beatboxing. Alash appeared as guest artists on Béla Fleck & the Flecktones Grammy-winning holiday CD Jingle All the Way (2008). They joined Chicago's innovative Fifth House Ensemble in a groundbreaking concert series called Sonic Meditations. Most recently, they were part of the "global jam band" which recorded the soundtrack for the videogame The Pathless.

Beyond performing, Alash has a passion for teaching and promoting understanding between cultures. Their tours often include workshops in which they introduce Tuvan music to students in primary, middle and high schools, colleges, universities, and music conservatories. Children as young as 8 and 9 have learned to throat-sing. As one student exclaimed: "Alash opened my eyes to a whole new world!"

Members of Alash are:
Bady-Dorzhu Ondar: vocals, igil, guitar.
Ayan Shirizhik: vocals, kengirge, shyngyrash, shoor, murgu, xomus.
Ayan-ool Sam: vocals, doshpuluur, igil, guitar.

Achai (2015, re-released on Smithsonian Folkways in 2017)
