About this event
The Tuvan throat singing quartet will perform in Amharclann Ghaoth Dobhair on the 24th March 2022
Huun-Huur-Tu’s style could be best described as profoundly mysterious – a consequence of their traditional, ritual laryngeal chants descending from the Central Asian land of Tuva.
Steeped in Tuvan folklore, the ensemble wears traditional garb and accompanies themselves on string and percussion instruments, playing galloping rhythms that evoke the vast south Siberian steppe. Their tightly structured pieces often imitate natural sounds, so that a song can be a literal representation of a Tuvan landscape.
Huun-Huur-Tu group member Radik Tyulyush says “The band is extremely excited about the forthcoming tour of Ireland especially after our sell-out tours in 2018 & 2019 and we are particularly looking forward to performing for the Irish people who have always shown us a friendly reception”.
Gaoth Dobhair’s own “Tuath” will be special guests on the night, performing a variety of music os Gaeilge.
Ghaoth Dobhair was chosen as the location due to its parallel ethnic music tradition and mysterious landscape
