Daughters of Tuva on Tour

With the exception of avant garde musical rebel Sainkho Namtchylak, throat singing has remained largely the realm of male singers. Is it just tradition, or are those growly and whistly overtones particularly difficult for women to create? Find out in person by catching Tyva Kyzy (The Daughters of Tuva) who begin a USA West-coast tour in October. The Western Washington dates include a concert at the just-opened Center for the Arts at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia at 7:30 p.m. Saturday Oct. 15 (advance tickets at SPSCC or brownpapertickets.com). $15 general, $7 students.

Song samples:
"Setkilimden Syrgek Yr-dyr (cheerful song from the soul)"
"Ayak Shaim (a cup of Tuvan milk tea)"
