Saturday, January 25th, 6pm - 9pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
The duo Sounds of Siberia combines dazzling traditions of two neighboring regions: Yuliyana Krivoshapkina is a singer and master of the otherworldly-sounding khomus (jaw harp) of Yakutia. Nachyn Choreve is a multi-instrumentalist and master of Tuva's equally unearthly khoomei (overtone singing). Yuliyana honed her craft with stellar women's ensemble Ayarkhaan. Nachyn is a member of superb Tuvan-psychedelic band Hartyga. Sounds of Siberia is touring the west coast now and will be at SXSW in March. Experience their magical sounds on WFMU this Saturday!
