*furiously plays banjo in the middle of a battlefield amidst mortar bombardment*

“Aww shit, gonna need some backup. Any word on those throat singers? We need them here now!”

*Huun Huur Tu shows up in a van along with various other Tuvan, Mongolian and Buryat musicians and throat singers dressed in traditional Mongolian clothing.*

“Finally! Maybe this’ll give us a chance.”

I had a spiritual experience listening to this and would like to share it with you.

Yat-Kha - Dalai Beldiri

Russia, 1999, Tuvan throat singing Former Huun-Huur-Tu member uses the folkloric Tuvan throat singing as a stepping-off point to explore how his cultural music can blend with and enhance the more mainstream genres of folk and rock, and on this album, he does a brilliant job of maintaining what he is without sacrificing his artistic integrity. Indeed, he understands music’s mightiest strength:…

It was 30 years ago: Kronos Quartet's Night Prayers was released on Nonesuch. On the album, composers from Eastern Europe and Central Asia offer work reflecting upon Jewish, Islamic, and Christian spiritual traditions. Guests include Dawn Upshaw, Djivan Gasparian, and the Throat Singers of Tuva. You can hear it here.

rb because Mongolian and Tuna throat singing was a very intense interest of mine for a long time so if I don’t mention Huun Huur Tu I will slowly burn up on the inside. Their work with the electronic artist Carmen Rizzo is pretty neat.

But if you only listen to one song by them I beg you, listen to Aa-Shuu Dekei-oo. I got to see them play live and this song is possibly the most fun I had in my entire 20′s

Wishing all a May Day of solidarity and progress! To celebrate, here’s my favorite rendition of the Internationale.

while alison’s sound is definitely pop, she has such an appreciation for all music. there’s no “ i like everything except … ” she listens to everything. pop, country, rap, irish folk, she even went through a tuvan throat singing phase while studying for college when she went. she thinks music is just the most beautiful thing humanity’s ever conceived, in all it’s forms, and sue her! she wants to contribute!

Arthur Miles "Lonely Cowboy" Parts 1 & 2 (Dallas, Texas, 1929) cowboy throat singing = Tuvan khoomei

‘You want authentic? You want history?  You want creepy? (But in a good way.)  Take a listen to this, Jack.  Joe Nick Patoski shared this & he comes up again with only the best shit...’

We hear a strange type of singing called "cowboy throat signing."  This is in addition to the yodeling. You'll know what I mean by "strange" when you hear it in the song.  How did Arthur Miles learn throat-singing?  Ancient cultures had this technique, and it is known in parts of the world, but how did someone in Texas know to do it in 1929? Tuvan throat singing, known as khoomei, is one particular variant of overtone singing practiced by people in Tuva, Mongolia, and Siberia. Arthur Miles performs "Lonely Cowboy" (Parts 1 & 2) on Victor V-40156, recorded in Dallas, Texas, on August 8, 1929. 

“A group of jolly cowboys on the Franklin ranch one night, their heads up on a saddle and a campfires burning bright. Some were telling stories and some were singing song, and some were smoking cigarettes while the others rolled along. 

At once they began to talking of distant friends so dear,. A boy raised his head from his saddle and brushed away a tear... This boy was tall and handsome, and his face showed a life of good cheer. His eyes were all but heavenly blue and he had light wavy hair. We asked him why he left his home, it being so dear to him. He raised his head from his saddle--with tears his eyes grew dim. 

As he raised his head from the saddle and he gazed a rough cried oar, said "boys, Ill tell you the reason why I stay at home no more." I fell in love with the neighbor's girl Her cheeks was very white Another fellow loved this girl And it ended in a fight This fellow's name was Tommy Smith And we had been great chums We shared each others troubles We shared each other's bond 

It almost makes me shudder To think of that sad night When Tom and I was quarrelling I stabbed him with my knife I fell on my knees beside him And tried to stop the blood That flowed down so gently It was like crimson flood 

I can almost hear Tommy's voice As the boys all gathered around Saying "Bob ol' boy you'll remember when I am under the ground" Now boys you know the reason why That I am compelled to roam And why I am so far away from dear old home sweet home”
