Today the journey goes to Tuva (an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation) and to Sri Lanka.
1- Tuva.
Albert Budachievich Kuvezin is a Tuvan guitarist and throat singer. Albert Kuvezin was a founding member of the Tuvan folk ensemble Huun-Huur-Tu and is the leader of the Tuvan folk / rock / electro / post-punk band Yat-Kha. He is known for his unique double bass style of Tuvan kargyraa throat singing, which he calls “kanzat kargyraa”.
CD. Poets and lighthouses – Albert Kuvezin and Yat-Kha. LABEL: Yat Kha (2011), code: YAT005. VIDEO
2- Sri Lanka.
On the occasion of the world fair held in Lisbon in 1998, the Portuguese label Tradisom has released a dozen CDs with music from the colonies that Portugal founded during its famous voyages of discovery (from the 15th century). Portuguese influence reached from South American Brazil to the Asian islands of Sri Lanka and Timor. It is interesting to note how the fusion of Portuguese music with indigenous music has created new sounds. The music from countries such as Macau, Malacca, Goa and Sri Lanka comes across as surprisingly ‘Portuguese’, especially with songs sung in Portuguese. CD. Cantigas do ceilão : Sri Lanka. LABEL: Viagem Dos Sons (1999), code: VS 02. VIDEO
