Alash with special guest Shodekeh

Alash are masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. What distinguishes this gifted trio from earlier generations of Tuvan throat singers is the subtle infusion of modern influences into their traditional music. One can find complex harmonies, western instruments, and contemporary song forms in Alash’s music, but its overall sound and spirit remain decidedly Tuvan. For this, their second performance at The ArtsCenter, they are joined by Shodekeh, a Baltimore-based beatboxer and vocal percussionist.
