$25 Advance // $30 Day of ShowAlash is a group of master musicians from Tuva, a republic in southern Siberia, known for their deep knowledge and practice of traditional Tuvan throat singing (khöömei). Their music is rooted in the nomadic culture of the region, where sound is closely tied to the natural world—wind, water, animals, and the vast steppe. Using instruments like the igil (horsehead fiddle) and doshpuluur (two-string lute), Alash creates layered, overtone-rich vocal music that can evoke multiple pitches at once, blending melody, rhythm, and environment into a single voice.
What makes Alash especially compelling is their ability to honor tradition while remaining open and collaborative. They are deeply committed to preserving Tuvan cultural heritage, but also engage with contemporary audiences through thoughtful arrangements and cross-cultural exchange. Whether performing in concert halls, intimate spaces, or alongside musicians from other traditions, their work offers a rare and immersive listening experience—one that connects ancient practices to the present moment in a powerful, resonant way.
