	Music: (January 30 - February 5, 1997)
		In the case of quartet Huun-Huur-Tu (also known as the Throat Singers of Tuva), the art of imitation is rooted in a centuries-old world view of music as an offering, as opposed to the commercial vehicle catering to the least common denominator we've come to expect.
		With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Tuva retained its economic and cultural autonomy, though it became politically a part of Russia.
		While Levin maintains the physical landscape of Tuva--so much a part of their music and culture--remains largely unchanged today, he intimates that modernization, and the popularization of Tuvan music in the global market, is literally loving the music to death.

		He was due to lay down a new album in London, but instead of the originals he had been working on, he decided to revisit and rework the music that had carried him through those tough days.
		For Kuvezin, the tension and resonance between rock and Tuvan traditional music were more than just a temporary comfort in a time of trial or a wacky novelty project.
		Recorded in London, the album was produced by British musical agent provocateur, world musician, and Billy-Bragg-supporting-player Ben Mandelson, with a little help from Justin Adams, who plays guitar with Robert Plant and who made a name for himself as producer for Tuareg rock band Tinariwen.

		The best known genre of Tuvan music, xöömei (throat-singing), comprises what one might call a lexicon of musical onomatopoeia in which natural sounds are mimetically transformed into musical representations.
		In short, Tuvan music is not abstract, like most Western music, but radically representational, the product of a cult of imitation that ties it to an animistic understanding of the world.....

		My theory about world and folk music's place in Widdershins is that music plays a large role in traditional cultures, which are more likely to be pagan and earth-centered in nature.
		Music sets the mood for ritual in these cultures, and often is itself a mode of worship, instruction or energy-raising.
		His music, and the music of Tuva generally (according to the notes), are about horses and the land, which is presumably why his music melds so well with bluegrass and Native American music.

	Tuva and Mongolia
		To our Western ears, the most striking music in Tuva (republic located between Russia and Mongolia) is a particular vocal technique.
		The singer is holding a drone on the "fundamental" musical tone, while the constituent harmonics of that tone are "selected" and amplified above it to form a melody.
		In the case of the Tuvans, their extreme environment makes mountains, water, livestock and wind part of their soundscape and may structure the musical sound they produce in throat-singing.

	Tuvan band to bring throat-singing to URI
		Next week and in October, the University of Rhode Island’s Pangaea roots music series invites Rhode Islanders to experience the music and culture of Tuvan throat singing through a series of free public events.
		Throat singing is the multi-harmonic vocal music that allows a singer to hit up to four notes at the same time to produce a reverberating growl, similar to the drone of a bagpipe, and a series of flute-like harmonics.
		The two sounds may be musically stylized to represent such sounds as the whistle of a bird, the syncopated rhythms of a mountain stream or the lilt of a cantering horse.

		As the name would suggest, Tuva Rock concentrates on Albert Kuvezin's grinding electric guitar more than their previous album Aldyn Dashka.
		And when does this in English, as is the case on the five original compositions he contributes, the joke wears thin pretty quickly, intentionally or not.

		In the last years the discovery of traditional music from Tuva, along with the one of other traditional cultures (such as pygmies, Australian Aborigine,..) has been used by some of the best and more active western bands.
		The throat singing technique, that permits to produce very clear harmonics, both on the high and on the low range, has been improved by the Tuvan people in the past centuries to reach magic and astonishing results.
		SHU-DE are today among the performers of these techniques that they have incorporated in their songs alternating with instrumental tunes played on the typical instrumental of their music: khomus (Jew's harp) and igil (a two strings bowed violin).

	CD review: "Deep in the Heart of Tuva: Cowboy Music From the Wild East"
		Despite the title, this ain't cowboy music like you'll ever hear at a hoedown.
		Instead, this is Tuvan folk singing – exotic (at least to American ears) music from Central Asia, between Mongolia, Russia and China.
		The book that the CD comes in presents a concise history of Tuva, along with its culture and, for the truly brave, a recipe for traditional Tuvan sheep's blood sausage.
