Yat-Kha first emerged in 1991 at the "Voice of Asia Festival". Brian Eno was so impressed he invented a "Special Prize" for Albert Kuvezin's ultra-bass "kanzat" throat-singing. This strange and beautiful vocal tradition celebrates nature, nomadic culture and animism.

   Since then Tuvan music has made its mark on the world. Albert, a founder of Huun-Huur-Tu, the Tuvan supergroup, sought to push the limits further, beyond the merely folkloric. Yat-Kha's daring blend of old and new instrumentation emerged, building up a reputation across many different audiences, appearing at world music festivals, improv jazz sessions, punk rock clubs, new age events, children's festivals and classical concert halls.

  
     Yat-Kha is now a five-piece band, all members are from Tuva. Yat-Kha's new recording, "Aldyn Dashka" (The Golden Cup), mines the rich musical and vocal, traditions of the nomad peoples, while at the same time reaching out from one of the most remote parts of the planet with electricity and authentic verve.

"Both electric and electrifying, it's unlike anything you've ever heard …"
Bob Tarte,   The Beat ,   1999
