Tuvan throat singers return to Rodborough
TUVAN throat singers Alash return to the Prince Albert in Rodborough on Monday, August 1.
The performance follows their appearance at Charlton Park's WOMAD Festival at the weekend.
Hailing from Tuva, a tiny republic in the heart of Central Asia, the quartet are masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time.
This ancient art developed among the nomadic herdsmen of the region.
Alash remains grounded in this tradition while expanding its musical vocabulary with new ideas from the West.
Tickets are £10 in advance/ £12 on door from the pub or available from SeeTickets http://www.seetickets.com/event/alash/the-prince-albert/989977
