Yat-Kha is a band from Tuva, led by vocalist/guitarist Albert Kuvezin. Their music is a mixture of Tuvan traditional music and rock, featuring Kuvezin's distinctive ''kargyraa'' throat singing style, the ''kanzat kargyraa''. ==Biography== Yat-Kha was founded in Moscow in 1991, as a collaborative project between Kuvezin and Russian avant-garde, electronic composer Ivan Sokolovsky. The project blended traditional Tuvan folk music with post-modern rhythms and electronic effects. Kuvezin and Sokolovsky toured and played festivals, and eventually took the name “Yat-Kha,” which refers to a type of small, Central Asian zither similar to the Mongolian ''yatga'' and the Chinese ''guzheng'', which Kuvezin plays in addition to the guitar. In 1993, they released a self-titled album on the General Records label. After the release of ''Yat-Kha'', Kuvezin and Sokolovsky parted creative ways and Kuvezin went on to release five other albums under the name Yat-Kha with other musicians (and less of an emphasis on electronics), beginning with ''Yenisei Punk'' in 1995, with ''morin khuur'' player Alexei Saaia (produced by Lu Edmonds). Sokolovsky issued a remastered version of the ''Yat-Kha'' album, with additional tracks, under the title ''Tundra's Ghosts'' in 1996/97. Since 2001, they have been performing a live soundtrack to Vsevolod Pudovkin's 1928 silent film ''Storm Over Asia.'' They may release a DVD of this version of the film with Reality Film. In 2010, the project released a new album, ''Poets and Lighthouses'', recorded on the Scottish island of Jura with producer Giles Perring. It reached Number 1 on the World Music Charts Europe (WMCE) in January 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yat-Kha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
