I wish they could come back to NYC this year... I went up to CT last year to see them performing. The performance was really really great.

Alash conducted an exciting, jam-packed tour of the U.S. from July 17 to August 16, 2009. Traveling up and down the eastern seaboard from Vermont to Virginia, they appeared at the Grassroots Festival, the Lowell Folk Festival, and the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, as well as numerous venues large and small along ...the way. They continued their popular tradition of collaborating with friends from the Sun Ra Arkestra at the Rotunda in Philadelphia, and they conducted an intensive 3-day workshop at the New England Conservatory. They wrapped up the busy tour with a relaxed, informal concert at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors' new Art Sanctuary in Wappingers Falls, NY, where they were photographed by Hildegard M. Grob.Read More

Alash Ensemble This is an amazing video that was shot last night at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. The production staff did a wonderful job, and this has to be the best video of Alash to date!

Alash Ensemble, masters of Tuvan throat singing—a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time—and traditional Tuvan instruments...

Here’s one musical group from the Grassroots Festival that I definitely could not hear from my front porch. I wish I could have.

This amazes me like the first time I saw Alash preform at 21C in Louisville, KY with Ben Sollee and Abigail Washburn. One of the best musical experiences of my life- Thank you Alash!
