Album Notes & Community Reviews

Subtitled 'The Adventure Continues', the Tuvan master's major-label album reworks his throat singing with Willie Nelson and Randy Scruggs in Nashville and threads in samples of the physicist Richard Feynman, Tuva's most famous American devotee. Ondar had won top honours at UNESCO's International Festival of Throat-Singing in 1992 and already recorded with the Kronos Quartet, Frank Zappa and Mickey Hart.
