Mongolian Throat Singers
I had the distinct pleasure to record with a band called Tuvergen, from Mongolia featuring Tamir Hargana, Naizal Hargana, and Brent Roman. They are sensational and must be seen to be believed. Tamir is the main singer and he plays the folk lute, a drum based 3-string instrument like the banjo. Naizal plays the Horse Head Fiddle with two strings playing in the range of the viola. Rounding out the band is master percussionist Brent Roman, who played with Cirque de Soleil and was also on my Mississippi River Suite recording.
