Khovalyg - The Pavarotti of throat-singing"
La
musica siberiana di Tuva è prevalentemente cantata
e unica al mondo: il canto è diplofonico,
ossia, cantare con due voci. Emettere contemporaniamente
due suoni è quasi impossibile salvo rarissime eccezioni,
ma non per i tuvani. Per loro è naturale in quanto
fa parte del loro bagaglio culturale. Immaginate due o a
volte anche tre voci emesse da un unica laringe: la bocca
è completamente aperta e la lingua ruota dall'alto
del palato disegnando due emissioni sonore, una per il bordone,
l'altra per l'armonia.
La
musica dei Huun Huur Tu è autentica, preservata in quell'angolo
dell'Asia sotto
|
la grande
federazione russa è rimasta inalterarta nei secoli proprio grazie
alla posizione geografica della Republica di Tuva fra la taiga siberiana,
il deserto del Gobi e i monti dell'Altai.
Per i Tuvani
il canto non è altro che l'imitazione dei suoni della natura e
nei concerti dei Huun Huur Tu si possono ascoltare suoni acuti e penetranti,
gravi, cavernosi, cristallini, simili a un cinguettio, il fluire dell'acqua
o il soffio del vento. La strumentazione serve solo ad arrichire e dare
risalto alle emissioni vocali del gruppo.

- THE SAN FRANCISCO
BAY GUARDIAN - "The Tuvans will ride into your brain and leave hoofprints
up and down your spine."
-
JAZZ
TIMES - "A rustic joyousness and unadulterated expressiveness
come out of these musicians."
-
THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE - "It is unfamiliar yet very accessible, an other-worldly
but deeply spiritual music that is rooted in the sounds of nature."
-
LOS
ANGELES TIMES - "When a Tuvan sings praises of mother and country,
which is what a Tuvan usually sings, he often does it in three-part
harmony. By himself."
-
UNION
NEWS, Springfield, Mass - "Imagine cool, fresh air, high altitudes,
the wild open spaces of the steppes, rushing rivers, singing birds,
galloping horses, yurts, and a culture that combines Buddhism with
shamanism, and then imagine that you hear the sounds of all these
elements in the music. With a beat. That's what it sounds like."
-
THE
GAZETTE (Montreal - Feb.99) - "The sound is peculiar, haunting,
hypnotic. It is a guttural, sometimes piercing sound of vocal chords
burrowing into the flesh of mother nature. It is wind and rushing
water and crumbling earth, it is called throat singing and masters
of the technique are headed our way..."
-
THE
OREGONIAN (Portland OR - Feb.19, 99) - "The members of Huun-Huur-Tu
are perhaps the best known practitioners (of throat singing) and accompany
themselves on all manner of strange and wonderful instruments... The
resulting sound is as compelling as a wild gallop across the steppes."
-
-
METRO
TIMES (Detroit MI - Feb.3, 99) - "Throat-singing Cowpokes... Who
are the real cowboys? If you ask a typical Tuvan, they'd tell you
that cowboys are from the Wild, Wild East. East? From the tiny central
Asian republic of Tuva comes a quartet of the world's most renowned
musical renegades... The group is also Tuva's unofficial cultural
ambassador, sharing with the world the unusual musical traditions
from their small patch of land nestled between Siberia and Mongolia..."
-
BACKBEAT(Denver
westworld.com - Nov. 97) - "The juxtaposition of [Angelite]’s
ecstatic, deeply felt wailing and the bottomless pitch of the Throat
Singers..., produces so wonderful a sound that their pairing seems
inevitable."
-
DIRTY
LINEN (Jan. 97) - "This music is both very spiritual and down
to earth, grounded in a strong sense of place, yet its appeal is universal.
The group bridges the gap between old and new like few others."
-
TUCSON
WEEKLY (Jan. 97) - "In the case of Huun-Huur-Tu...the art of imitation
is rooted in a centuries-old world view of music as an offering, as
opposed to the commercial vehicle catering to the least common denominator
we've come to expect. The end result is a strange, beautiful tapestry
of sound and rhythm that taps into something more real, more authentic,
than anything you'll likely find on the American musical landscape."
-
THE
WASHINGTON POST(Jan. 96) - "...Between verse come sounds that
seem unlikely for either voice or string. They are high and whistling,
like bird calls. Sometimes they are croaking, down toward the nether
reaches of detectable pitch. Sometimes they have a pulsing, rolling
quality sustained for lung-aching duration, sounds that seem to capture
the essence of ever-flowing water and ever-blowing wind."
-
CMJ
NEW MUSIC REPORT (Feb. 95) - "Huun-Huur-Tu presents the style
in the context of wonderfully tuneful songs..., using instruments
(igil, byzaanchi) reminiscent of banjo and fiddle. But the combination
of low growling and highpitched harmonics, along with the less-than-commonplace
khomuz and dazhaanning khavy make these songs particularly jawdropping."
