Sunday, August 14

Direct from Russia - Siberian Fusion Music.
The repertoire of Namgar consists of the songs and melodies shared by Buryats and Mongolians, embracing the world of sounds as big as from the Lake Baikal in the East of Russia to the Great Wall in China, from the songs of shamanist gatherings of Siberia to celebration songs you might hear at a midsummer fest in Buryatia to exquisite melodies from Inner Mongolia. Looking like characters from the ancient legends of Asia on stage, the group delivers the music that is both exotic and easily accessible
Her exotic voice and unique instruments captivate all ages.
More info on her MySpace Page. http://www.myspace.com/lkhasnamgar
Tickets $10 at door.
