Huun Huur Tu

So one day I was searching YouTube for stuff concerning the Rainforest World Music Festival that is held every year in Kuching, Malaysia. Came across this band Huun Huur Tu from Tuva, which they claim is a country but is technically a part of Russia. Anyway, they have managed to maintain their culture through the ages and it's amazing. They are "throat singers", which is unique enough. What's more, when they do throat singing they can maintain a low bass-like note while doing a higher-pitch whistling. Here's a sample of their performance in Munich 2002:



Oh, I'm also interested to go to the Rainforest World Music Festival at the Sarawak Cultural Village 11-13 July next year. Anyone wanna join me? =)
