Huun Huur Tu in Los Angeles LIVE

Tuvan band, Huun Huur Tu at the Los Angeles Music Center, Oct. 13th 2007. I was able to speak with them a little and have conviced them to post some single samples of thraot singing with the names of the performers and a little description of 'how to'. I also spoke to them about having some workshops on throat singing in the near future. BTW they are playing again in Santa Monica onNov. 4.. Check their website...

Thanks a bunch for posting this! I just bought three of their albums off iTunes as a result. :-D

I spoke to their manager after the show, I really think they could do much better if they put more up on the web, as well as do some more workshops (I would love to sponsor one in Los Angeles)

[rhkips]

That would be absolutely awesome! And I have to agree: I've shown this video to a few of my friends, and they've instantly become hooked. I've even got a few 'students' so to speak, whom I'm teaching rudimentary throat singing to, now. *laughs* I'm in the Orange County area, if you need help coordinating anything. :-)

Their lament was that in California they could barely fill a bar, but on the east coast they have sold out show in large venues... :-(

I'd love to hear them do AC/DC's 'Dirty Deeds' as a request. Not since Froggy in Little Rascals have I heard such a cool throaty voice.

[moonknight9]

THat is a GREAT idea, there are lots of modern songs I think would be really cool with the harmonics and overtones...

@moonknight9 Also look into playing music festivals. No better exposure than that!

[bigboondi]

great ideas hey, lets turn their culture and singing into american rap slum shit music for a few bucks...i can smell the greed in your comments.

These unbelievable musicians are just beautiful as they are. a little bit more exposure is all they need, and not so much as to fuck em up like they did with so many others.

John, Paul George and Ringo.

[TranceRVictriX]

I would like to know what the lyrics are.

[Atrux1]

@moonknight9 Totally agree! I saw them in a small music festival in France, 700 people, not espacially musical trained, where totally fascinated. 4 years after, I still have not forgotten!
