The spires of the Latemar will form the backdrop in the Tresca plain, within the Cornacci-Monte Agnello mountain group, for the highly anticipated concert by Alash, masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömei), an ancient vocal technique that allows multiple sounds to be produced simultaneously.
Raised in the musical tradition of Tuva, a region in Central Asia now part of the Russian Federation, and trained in the late 1990s at the Kyzyl Arts College, Alash blends the ancestral heritage of their land with contemporary influences and instrumentation, in line with world music trends, advancing their artistic exploration without ever abandoning their roots.
Invited to the United States in 2006 by the Library of Congress’ Open World program, they have since embarked on international tours and collaborations spanning jazz to beatboxing. In addition to concerts, they organize workshops and educational activities, spreading Tuvan culture and throat singing worldwide.
The concert venue, at 2,100 m in the heart of the Fiemme Valley, is accessible via the Agnello chairlift from Pampeago.
