Review....Got there a bit late, heavy rain/potential tornado (and actual corn one..heh) made us miss a song or so. As soon as we opened the doors I heard a mmmmmMMMMMMMMMuuuuuuuuUUUUUHHHHHHH and a big smile was produced. I first heard this type music by a band called Sabjilar from Khakassia(siberia)..very similar vibe. Dreamy, surreal sounds emanate from their voices..um throats and their traditional folk instruments. Near the apex of the show at a suspensefull point one of the singers stands (sitting all show) and plays a long horn-type instrument making baleful howls, squawks, and gutteral animal calls and barks..finishing off with the wind and far-off bird calls. Wow. Dulcimerjohn was impressed and will try some incorporation.
