Huun Huur Tu is a Tuvan Throat singing/ folk music band. For those of you who don't know where Tuva is, it is considered a Russian Republic placed on the Mongolian Border. Tuvan throat singing consists of over tone singing(singing more than one note at a time) mixed in with musical instruments to produce interesting/soothing pieces of music. Only in the past year have i gotten into overtone singing and started to appreciate it more. This album is an easy way to get into this type of music compared to other overtone singing bands. It mixes in great melody lines with rich full tones with added overtone singing. Although when watching someone sing this way live, they usually have a funny looking expression on their face because of the way they have to make the different sounds. Overall, i would recommend this record for anyone who wants to give this genre a listen because it is definitely unique and great. 12/17/10
