For good measure\, toss in a thrumming rhythm similar to that of a jaw harp\, but produced vocally-by the same person\, at the same time.” \nALASH ensemble is a trio of master throat singers (xöömeizhi) from Tuva\, a tiny republic in the heart of Inner Asia. The ancient art of throat singing (xöömei) developed among the nomadic herdsmen of this region. Alash remains grounded in this tradition while expanding its musical vocabulary with new ideas from the West. The ensemble is named for the Alash River\, which runs through the northwestern region of Tuva. The Alash River has also inspired a couple of Tuvan songs which carry its name. All members of Alash were trained in traditional Tuvan music since childhood\, first learning from their families\, and later becoming students of master throat singers. In 1999\, as students at Kyzyl Arts College\, they formed a group called Changy-Xaya and soon became the resident traditional ensemble on campus. At the same time they learned about western music\, practiced on hybrid Tuvan-European instruments\, and listened to new trends coming out of America. \n
