Alash Ensemble To Redefine Sounds

ALASH are masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. What distinguishes this group from earlier generations of Tuvan throat singers is the subtle infusion of modern influences into their traditional music. One can find complex harmonies, western instruments & contemporary song forms in Alash’s music, but its overall sound & spirit remain decidedly Tuvan. Trained in traditional Tuvan music since childhood, the Alash musicians studied at Kyzyl Arts College just as Tuva was beginning to open up to the West. They formed a traditional ensemble and won multiple awards for traditional throat singing in international xöömei competitions, both as an ensemble and as individuals. At the same time, they paid close attention to new trends coming out of the West. They have borrowed new ideas that mesh well with the sound and feel of traditional Tuvan music, but they have never sacrificed the integrity of their own heritage in an effort to make their music more hip. Alash first toured the U.S. under the sponsorship of the Open World Leadership program of the Library of Congress & the National Endowment for the Arts. Since then they have returned many times, to the delight of American audiences. Alash enjoys collaborating w/musicians of all mediums. Since their early partnership with the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra, they have joined forces with musicians across the spectrum—from country to classical to jazz to beatboxing. Alash appeared as guest artists on Béla Fleck & the Flecktones’ Grammy-winning holiday CD Jingle All the Way (2008). They joined Chicago’s innovative Fifth House Ensemble in a groundbreaking concert series called Sonic Meditations, and later were part of a “global jam band” which recorded the soundtrack for the video game The Pathless. Bady-Dorzhu Ondar even teamed up with beatboxer Shodekeh in a live recording of original Tuvan songs filtered through the creative artistry of hip hop musicians. Beyond performing, Alash has a passion for teaching & promoting understanding between cultures. Their tours often include workshops in which they introduce Tuvan music to students in primary, middle & high schools, colleges, universities, and music conservatories. Even children have learned to throat-sing.

Members of Alash:

Bady-Dorzhu Ondar: vocals, igil, guitar, bayan (accordion). Kyzyl Arts College, East Siberia State Academy of Culture and Art. Best soloist, 2005 All-Russian Festival of traditional ensembles and orchestras. Best in Maxim Dakpai xöömei competition, 2006. Named People’s Xöömeizhi of Tuva, 2007. Grand prize, International Xöömei Symposium, 2008.

Kang-Khüler Saaia: vocals, byzaanchy, chadagan. Kyzyl Arts College, founding member of Tuvan National Orchestra.

Ayan-ool Sam: vocals, doshpuluur, igil, xomus. Republic School of the Arts, Kyzyl Arts College, Moscow State
Pedagogical University. First prize, International Xöömei Symposium, 2008. Named People’s Xöömeizhi of Tuva, 2015.

Ayan Shirizhik: vocals, kengirge, shyngyrash, shoor, xomus. Kyzyl Arts College, East Siberia State Academy of Culture and Art. Second prize, International Xöömei Symposium, 2008. Distinguished Artist of Tuva, 2009. Named People’s
Xöömeizhi of Tuva, 2021.

Sean Quirk: manager, interpreter. Studied music in Tuva on Fulbright fellowship. Named Distinguished Artist of Tuva, 2008.

I had the pleasure of getting some time with the ensembles manager/interpreter Sean Quirk as the ensemble got its tour on. Here in Madison on March 29th, people can experience all that is the Alash Ensemble at the Bur Oak. We got deep into trying to explain just what it is people who go out and see an Alash show are going to experience. I will attest (Sean will back me), it is as much a feeling within as it is getting wrapped in the sound vibrations coming out to you. It is something that does change people. Sean does his best to share what is was/is about the music and the culture that changed his life. Click into his name above to see just how much he got immersed – amazing cat. We talk about the ability of this music and these artists to be universal collaborators, with an openness to see where the ‘fits’ are, I believe the bridges of the world do get extended. We also get into a little lesson or two on both the instruments (not just throat singing happening here) and the region of Tuva. The music is as fascinating as all the pieces that make it happen. I believe I could do greenarrowradio from Tuva (with our new Packers Bar opening).

Handpickin’ Chris Pierce

Millennium Stage

Pierce has toured and performed on stage with Steve Earle, Allison Russell, B.B.King, Seal, Al Green, and Neil Young. Chris Peirce provided proof that there are still some left who’s words can travel well while we stand still, going both back & forth.

Got My Ranky Tanky On

Ranky Tanky has achieved many firsts for South Carolina’s West African–rooted Gullah community since their formation, earning yet another milestone at the 2019 Grammy Awards® by taking home the Best Regional Roots Album prize for their sophomore release ‘Good Time’. The album, which also hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Chart, combines songs carried down through generations in the Sea Islands of the Southeastern United States with the band’s own original compositions in the Gullah tradition. In Ranky Tanky’s hands, this style of music has been described as “soulful honey to the ears” (NPR) while being covered by The New York Times, NPR’s Fresh Air, and The TODAY Show, who had the band on for a performance. Ranky Tanky (a Gullah phrase for “get funky”) are 5 lifelong friends from Charleston, South Carolina who have established themselves as passionate global ambassadors for their local culture and community, helping to faithfully preserve the traditions originated by African Americans in the coastal South during slavery that are kept alive through the present day. The band has been featured on NPR’s Fresh Air, The Today Show, PBS Newshour, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert #playathome. Ranky Tanky were honored to be featured artists in President Biden’s inauguration event, ‘We The People’. They were the subjects of a ten-page profile in Oxford American’s South Carolina music issue and were named 2020 Artist of The Year by the Charleston City Paper. They sure did give it to us all so good on March 8th at the Kennedy Center. You can watch the video of the entire event here and below click into Quentin’s name to hear my conversation with him a couple years back before a show here in Madison.

Introducing Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek

Born in Hamburg, Germany to Turkish parents, Derya Yıldırım grew up influenced by her family’s Anatolian background and the myriad of cultures in the city. Derya’s musical roots started at home playing folk music with family members. Her father pushed her to learn various instruments, beginning with the bağlama, a seven stringed Turkish lute. Then she picked up the guitar, piano, & saxophone. Although she is a multi-instrumentalist, Derya always felt drawn to the sound of the bağlama, finding a special magic within that sound. With her band Grup Şimşek’s forthcoming album Yarın Yoksa, which translates to ‘If There’s No Tomorrow’, Derya continues her journey revitalizing Anatolian folk music and instrumentation by infusing timeless melodies with a modern psychedelic flair. Ten years ago, while participating in a community theater project, Derya met French musicians Graham Mushnik & Antonin Voyant from Catapulte Records and formed the band Grup Şimşek with Helen Wells, a drummer from Cape Town, South Africa joining in 2021. While the band is truly international, they eschew the term ‘world music’, preferring instead ‘outernational’ which they say suggests a sound that’s more inclusive or “beyond borders.” DY&GS embody what defines Anatolian folk music, finding a groove and melody and then looking for the freedoms within. It’s this ethos that guides the band’s songwriting and the way they take on Anatolian folk standards. Respecting the roots of the music while entertaining their own spins on the music while preserving historic words & melodies…perhaps the soul changes just a little bit. While it’s easy to think of folk music as a music of the past, Derya insists it’s just as valid today since this music is so important as it remains the voice of the people, the minority, and the oppressed. After self-producing multiple albums, they signed with New York’s Big Crown Records in 2024 and teamed up with Grammy-nominated producer Leon Michels (El Michels Affair) for Yarın Yoksa. The new album embodies their balance of preservation and innovation across nine original compositions and three traditional folk songs. It is a record that will enchant any listener regardless of language barrier with Derya’s passion and authenticity front and center and music too moving to deny. Yarın Yoksa is sure to captivate the hearts and minds of all those who hear it, and just wait until you experience them play it live.

I had the pleasure of chatting it up with Derya & Helen of Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek shortly before the new album, Yarın Yoksa drops. This album delves into deeply personal pain and collective resistance with a central thread of loss, longing and hope for change running throughout. Derya also sings in her parents’ native Anatolian with lyrics that are poetic with symbolic language, metaphors & storytelling. Derya & Helen talk a bit about the album’s journey from beGinning to it’s almost peek into the ears of others. Together, Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek have created a memorable and emotional record that challenges genre while having broad appeal and a powerful message. None of this is lost on my ears, body and spirit as I listen and share. I feel the album’s haunts and romances. We talk about getting to work with Big Crown Records and the one and only Mr. Leon Michels. I really get into being educated a bit about the region and corners of the world on the birth certificate of this record, including a geography lesson and some extra insights into the bağlama. I even got to learn a few more bands to look up when Helen & Derya build a setlist around one of the new tracks.

Kendra Morris Comes To Madison

There is something completely out-of-time about Kendra Morris and her latest album ‘I Am What I’m Waiting For’ on Karma Chief Records. It combines powerhouse vocals w/arrangements that betray an extensive record collection & a whimsical instinct for a joyous kinda noise. It’s vibrant & varied and packed w/personality. She & Torbitt Schwartz, AKA Little Shalimar (Run The Jewels) wanted to make it feel like listeners cracked open the ooze in her head. Torbitt was the Co-Writer & Producer on the record. Kendra is also an accomplished visual artist & stop-motion animator, so it’s appropriate that the album takes a collagist approach, recombining all sorts of Rock-n-Roll ingredients, the sass & swagger of Ronnie Spector, The more acid-fried corners of The Nuggets Compilations, post-modern interpolations of mid-century Exotica music, the cracking snares & sugary Urbanity of ESG, all while offering moments of vulnerable insights from a life in pursuit of expression. She was a musically precocious child and, after playing in Florida bar bands, moved to New York to chase the dream. Thus began a 13-year stint bartending at the beloved lower East Side dive The Library, which thrust her directly into the heart of Manhattan’s fertile post-Strokes creative scene. Brian Jonestown Massacre’s Anton Newcombe lived Upstairs, music journalist Marc Spitz was a regular, and touring acts would come through to hang after playing Bowery Ballroom. During those moments, Morris yearned to join those folks on the other side of the bar. All the while, she kept pursuing her music dreams. Her process was pure, 100% DIY. She never took no for an answer. After the dissolution of her first band, She Recorded 8-track demos and performed solo shows backed by cassette recordings of her own vocal harmonies. Through these shows she connected w/longtime producer Jeremy Page. It felt meant to be. She worked with Jeremy for the next 10+ years, they Worked together thru some of the most beautiful & hardest life things she’s ever gone thru. It was a fruitful partnership: she signed to Wax Poetics for the release of her 2012 debut ‘Banshee’ & 2013’S ‘Mockingbird’, self-released her 2016 EP ‘Babble’, & signed to Karma Chief for 2022’S ‘Nine Lives’. She’s hooked up with a great cast of collaborators, including DJ Premier, MF Doom, Ghostface Killah, & David Sitek. Despite her strong professional & personal relationship w/Page, Kendra knew that she needed to change up the energy for her next project. She connected w/Torbitt Schwartz and set about making ‘I Am What I’m Waiting For’. Kendra was eager to break out of old habits: she started playing guitar again live, pulled old songs out and reworked them, less-than-perfect takes were tolerated. To me, it feels like he risk has paid off.

I had the pleasure of catching up with Kendra as she sets out on a brief run with Marc Brousaard which brings her to Madison on March 16th to play the Majestic Theatre. We get into how that gig got put on her calendar and what that set of music will be like, ranging from her past albums into trying out some new music on us. You heard it riGht, NEW music. We also never had time to discuss her most recent release, “I Am What I’m Waiting For” so we go a little seed to flower on that and prompt a little double check on the video for Dominoes. I would have been remiss if this time around I neglected to get into a little conversation on the really cool track, ‘White Noise‘ she worked on with Peter Matson – this tune really collides well with how she makes a little magic every time we hear a new thing and should be heard by everyone at least once. Ready…GO!

Jazz Foundation of America Presents: Boma Bango

Live from Sung Harbor:

Boma Bango takes the hypnotic, reverb drenched, tremolo-ed electric guitar heavy music from the 1960s in the Congo and reimagines it as if it came out of some humid outdoor bar in Southwest Louisiana. Boma Bango formed after Daniel Coolik became infatuated with 1950s and 1960s Congolese Rumba. A music originally influenced by Cuban records from the 1930s and 40s and infused with melodies and instruments from the Congo. Boma Bango, by taking musical cues from Congolese luminaries as Franco Luambo & le TPOK Jazz, L’Orchestra African Fiesta with Docteur Nico and Tabu Ley Rochereau, and Le Grand Kallé et l’African Jazz, has strived to create their own kind of improvisational music based upon the sounds from this golden age. The band was started in 2018 by musical compatriots Daniel Coolik (electric guitar/electric mandolin), Trey Boudreaux (bass), Megan Constantin (vocals/percussion), Bill Smith (congas/marimba), and Glenn Fields (drums/percussion) – and is sometimes joined by Aurora Nealand (saxophones). They reinvent old songs and write new ones in Louisiana French just as the Congelse wrote songs in Lingala. In the same way jazz musicians took the Great American Songbook in the 1940s and 50s and now take from popular music, Boma Bango has reworked these beautiful and almost forgotten melodies to create an alluring, tropical, and exciting new sound.
