About this item
Product Description
This wild musical journey combines the amazing two-note vocals of Tuvan throat-singing master ONDAR with the gut-bucket, scratchy blues of Paul "Earthquake" PENA, and a Cape Verdian morna ballad thrown in for good measure.
Music from this CD powers the award-winning film Genghis Blues.
From the Label
..."Most throat music is overtone music, in which one voice provides drone or harmonics and another the melody, both emanating from a solo vocalist. As a formal musical style, throatsinging is integral to traditional Tuvan culture; almost predictably, it's an endangered form in its own land. But the technique isn't confined to northern Central Asia; given a world full of people with music in their heads and time on their hands, varieties of overtone singing were certain to be heard elsewhere. Such as in the Mississippi Delta, the source of Paul Pena's first taste of throat music." ...
... "Ondar insisted that Pena come to Tuva to participate in Hoomei '95, UNESCO's international throatsinging competition. Pena lacked the money for any such journey ('Whenever you can show me a bank that a blind guy can rob, man, I'll be glad to go!'), but with some finagling and the support of Ralph Leighton and the Friends of Tuva, he made it to Tuva and won first place in the kargyraa division." ...
