“Imagine a human bagpipe—a person who could sing a sustained low note while humming an eerie, whistle-like melody. For good measure, toss in a thrumming rhythm similar to that of a jaw harp, but produced vocally—by the same person, at the same time.” – Newsweek
The members of Alash are masters of traditional Tuvan instruments and throat singing (xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. Deeply committed to traditional Tuvan music and culture, they are also fans of Western music. Believing that traditional music must constantly evolve, the musicians subtly infuse their songs with Western elements, creating their own unique style that is fresh and new, yet always true to their Tuvan musical heritage. The Washington Post called Alash’s live show “utterly stunning,” quipping that after the performance “audience members picked their jaws up off the floor.”
