Saturday Tia and I were invited to come and photograph the concert at The Lake Erie Folk Festival, it was amazing. The line up was full of fantastic performances but one truly touched me, Alash. Alash are masters of traditional Tuvan instruments and the ancient art of throats singing. I had never heard of the group and I was only familiar with that style from YouTube. The passion and respect for their traditions were felt literally in the very vibrations that went throughout the auditorium. It's not an experience I'm soon to forget. Here are just a few I was able to capture and I hope they inspire you to seek out this group and experience it for yourself and see how rich our world is with different cultures.
