[All features] Alash Featured on Grammy-Winning CD Source: http://www.alashensemble.com/CDs.htm
Alash was invited by the Flecktones to collaborate on this CD while touring the US in 2007. The music includes the traditional Tuvan song "Dyngyldai" performed in combination with the English Christmas carol “What Child Is This,” and a khoomei version of the American classic “Jingle Bells.” One reviewer called Jingle All the Way “the most adventurous Christmas album to come out in years.” Another wrote, “… you will be singing along in Tuvan before it's over. You speak Tuvan? Neither do I, but I was joining in the first time I listened to Jingle All the Way.” This past December, Alash toured several American cities with the Flecktones to promote the CD. In these joint concerts, many Flecktones fans were amazed and delighted to hear Tuvan throat-singing for the first time. Roy “Futureman” Wooten of the Flecktones introduced Alash, gave the audience a quick geography lesson, and offered instructions on how to listen for the overtones of khoomei. Sean Quirk filled in more details about Alash, throat singing, and Tuva. This is not the first time the Flecktones have incorporated Tuvan throat singing into their music. Two of their earlier albums, Outbound and Live at the Quick, feature the well known khoomeizhi Kongar-ool Ondar. You can hear Alash member Ayan-ool Sam throat-sing "Jingle Bells" at http://play.rhapsody.com/bela-fleck/jingle-all-the-way/jingle-bells-reprise?from=real&didAutoplayBounce=true. More information about Jingle All the Way is available at http://www.alashensemble.com/CDs.htm. More information about the Flecktones is available at http://www.flecktones.com/site.php.
