Mark your calendars for the return of the Alash Ensemble, performing October 23 at 7:00 PM. This event will take place at Ozarka College in Mountain View. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door.
Alash are master throat singers from Tuva, a tiny republic in Siberia. The ancient art of throat singing, by which a single singer produces multiple notes simultaneously, developed among the nomadic herdsmen of the region. Alash are virtuosi of this amazing vocal technique who accompany themselves brilliantly on a variety of fascinating instruments from their homeland.
In addition to performing traditional music of their native Tuva, they have collaborated with such diverse groups as the bluegrass/fusion/jazz band Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, the jazz ensemble Sun Ra Arkestra, and performed at Carnegie Hall in 2012.
