Yat Kha - Khan Party 93

Review by Ary Wibowo

Yat Kha's album Khan Party 93 is a mesmerizing and eclectic fusion of traditional Tuvan music and modern rock. The album features a range of instruments, including the igil, a traditional Tuvan string instrument, and electric guitar, bass, and drums. The band's unique sound is a result of their use of throat singing, a Tuvan technique that produces multiple pitches simultaneously.

The album's opening track, "Kaa-Khem," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting vocals and driving percussion. The album's standout track, "Yenisei Punk," is a high-energy rock song that blends Tuvan throat singing with distorted electric guitar riffs. Other tracks, such as "Kargyraa Rap" and "Tyva Blues," showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend traditional Tuvan music with modern instrumentation.
