Event details:
The music of Altai Kai exudes the energy and mystery of a snow-capped mountainous homeland in which powerful spirits need to be brought on side in order for herders and hunters to survive. By combining kai ('throat-singing' whereby a single performer creates a melody fattened by spectral overtones) and traditional instruments (horse-hair fiddles, lutes, jaw's harps, end-blown pipes and shamanic drum) with their own song-writing, this prize-winning six-piece group evokes the mythology, beliefs and everyday ambience of the sacred 'golden' Altai Mountains of southern Siberia.
The 6 musicians of Altai Kai will be playing at WOMAD and the Royal Opera House as well as providing this workshop in Cambridge.
