i went last night to see Tinaiwen but it was these guys from Tuva Mongolia HUUN HUUR TU that stole the show. I realized a lot of things during this set about our oneness and the origin of music…..how everything must have orginated from a single point. In one of the songs you could hear the thunder the birds the plants the animals people singing & the wind. You coud see the mountains and the steppe :: you could SEE where they come from.
here’s a sample:::::
I had never heard music so influenced by an artists surroundings and environment.
Guess what? A Mongolian artist came to the German show “Das Supertalent” last year. As I heard the singing of these two men, I knew that they definitely not belonged to this kind of stage, but I was so thankful that they actually came to share their art. This is so striking and unusual.
