The entertainment was 10 stars! I had listened to throat singing performances in Mongolia several times and this definitely as good and authentic as those I had heard. Plus lots of extra with the Tuva local music. The theater/restaurant and the employees were terrific - could have stood to be a little more organized in the dinner part and start times. I would have preferred to have dinner prior to the actual performance, feeling rude etc. to eat (servred rather late) during the actual performance. But the entertainment was Fabulous and there should be more of these type performances. Bravo!Written on Oct 30 2007

Phenomenal! Wish I'd known they weren't going to open their doors until after 8 p.m., but other than that, the food was good, the venue intimate and the performance other-worldly. Very nice. Thanks!Written on Oct 30 2007

Incredible show. I have not heard a woman sing Tuvan music before and she was outstanding. The food was good but the beer selection could have been better, only Boddingtons and Guiness were good. One waiter for the crowd could have been increased but I was more into the music. Thanks Goldstar!Written on Oct 30 2007

This was a (minor) life changing experience of artistic excellence, unavailable most places in the world! Thank you for helping to make this musical culture accessible to the people of Los Angeles. I bought their cd and am enjoying reliving the concert as I write. Just because it's not for everyone is not reason to deprive those of us who love it. My Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from UCLA obviously makes me somewhat biased, but I've heard Tuvan music before, but never had the opportunity to hear it live. I'm very, very happy. Safari Sam's is an excellent venue - atmosphere and great sound amplification as well as good food and service. What more could anyone want? My partner is a dancer and she also was thrilled. Thanks again from both of us.Written on Oct 30 2007

Description
"Throat singing" is an extraordinary vocal form in which one singer produces two or more voices at the same time, one voice harmonizing with the others. It is truly astonishing, magical, and beautiful to hear.
This ancient tradition is kept alive ( and kicking! ) in just a few countries across Central Asia, south of Siberia.
The best throat singers in the world come from Tuva, and the best throat singers in Tuva are the members of Chirgilchin:
Igor Koshkendey has twice won the Tuvan International Throat Singing Competition, singing and winning in all of the six styles of throat singing. He has won other international throat singing competitions as well. His singing in the unique Oidupaa style is surpassed only by its originator, Vladimir Oidupaa. Igor has composed new songs as beautiful as the traditional Tuvan melodies that Chirgilchin also performs.
Mongoun-Ool Ondar won the Tuvan International Throat Singing Competition at the age of 16. He is recognized as a master of all six styles of throat singing, and has developed a new style of his own. His incredible solos can express and inspire profound feelings of tragic sadness or blissful joy, with a complexity that would astound John Coltrane or Jimi Hendrix. His singing is, without a doubt, guaranteed to blow your mind.
Aldar Tamdyn won Best Instrumentalist at the 2000 International Folk Music Festival in Tuva, playing the strings of the morin-huur and the byzaanchy. He is the director of the National Tuvan Orchestra of Traditional Instruments. He builds the instruments played by Chirgilchin and other Siberian musical groups.
