Emil Terkishev - Attar (2002)

Emil Terkishev is a member of the Altai group Altai Kai. However, he is one fine solo artist, too! He shows to be impressive on his two (!) stringed lute and combines this with amazing vocal work, both normal singing voice as well as Kai (Throat singing). Emil won many awards in singing competitions and Russian music festivals.

Attar is an impressive solo album, and it's stunning how Emil is able to create such a 'full and complete sound'.

Listen to an extract of his song Attar and dont forget to visit Emil Terkishev website for tour dates and cd orders.

Alash - Live at the enchanted garden 2006

ALASH

Alash is a very young ensemble from Tuva. They are all taught by master throat singer Kongar-Ol Ondar who became (very) famous through the Documentary GENGHIS BLUES with blind blues artist Paul Pena. Although a very young ensemble, they create very lively traditional Tuvan Music.

This is a live album, and interesting thing is the first few songs where the members of Alash demonstrate their throat singing techniques and some instruments.
