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\u2019s music, but its overall sound and spirit is decidedly Tuvan.<\/p>\n<p>Trained in traditional Tuvan music since childhood, the <b>Alash<\/b> musicians studied at Kyzyl Arts College just as Tuva was beginning to open up to the West. They formed a traditional ensemble and won multiple awards for traditional throat singing in international x\u00f6\u00f6mei competitions, both as an ensemble and as individuals. At the same time, they paid close attention to new trends coming out of the West. They have borrowed new ideas that mesh well with the sound and feel of traditional Tuvan music, but they have never sacrificed the integrity of their own heritage in an effort to make their music more hip.<\/p>\n<p><b>Alash<\/b> first toured the U.S. under the sponsorship of the Open World Leadership program of the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Arts. Since then they have returned many times, to the delight of American audiences. The Washington Post described their music as \u201cutterly stunning,\u201d quipping that after the performance \u201caudience members picked their jaws up off the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Alash<\/b> enjoys collaborating with musicians of all stripes. They appear as guest artists on B\u00e9la Fleck &amp; the Flecktones\u2019 holiday CD Jingle All the Way (2008), which won a Grammy. The Denver Post remarked, \u201cAs electrifying as the Flecktones\u2019 performance was, the band were nearly upstaged by Alash Ensemble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Alash<\/b> also enjoys a longstanding musical partnership with the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra, and they have collaborated with musicians across the spectrum, from country to classical. Beyond performing, Alash has a passion for teaching and promoting understanding between cultures. Their tours often include workshops where they introduce Tuvan music to students from primary, middle and high schools, colleges, universities, and music conservatories. Children as young as 8 and 9 have learned to throat-sing. As one student exclaimed, \u201cAlash opened my eyes to a whole new world!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Alash<\/b> has released three CDs of its own: Alash Live at the Enchanted Garden (2006), Alash (2007), and Buura (2011).<\/p>\n<p>The 2013-2014 performance season at the Dennos Museum Center is made possible with support from the Robert T and Ruth Haidt Trust, and the Osterlin Performance Endowment with media support from WNMC 90.7, WCMU Public Broadcasting and TV 29&amp;8.
