Performance: Huun Huur Tu

Credited with single-handedly introducing the outside world to the boundless wealth of Tuvan traditions, Huun Huur Tu has spent decades honing overtone singing, instrumental approaches, and the vibrant songs of Central Siberia’s Altai Mountains. Drawing subtly from both 20th-century composers and the contemporary palette of electronica, Huun Huur Tu transform ancient songs into to ethereal, universal music accompanied by lively acoustic compositions.
