The fellow at the website here (Steve Sklar) http://khoomei.com/ teaches it and has a band (Big Sky) that performs in that style. it seems that people who herd critters (swiss cows, tuvan yaks, etc) have perfected this method of singing. this performance group is most famous for this style http://www.huunhuurtu.com/ there are some Buddhist monks who do this also, but rumour has it that they learned it from the Tuvans. but this is not exactly yodeling, so i should start another thread.... Pam Swan (Mrs. Dave) featured Paul Pena on a recent recording project she did...it was one of his last recordings. |

They combine traditional Tuvan instruments (and, of course, the spectacular singing) with rock guitar. When I saw them they reminded me a bit of Captain Beefheart. Not to everyone's taste, perhaps, but a wonderful group of players and singers. More about them, and a chance to download some MP3s (including a frightening version of "Wild Mountain Tyme" here Norman |
