Bela Fleck & The Flecktones

Bela Fleck & The Flecktones Confirm Special Guest Collaborators Alash Ensemble (Tuvan Throat Singers!) For Select Holiday Tour Dates

“Guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of even the biggest Scrooge” (Associated Press), Béla Fleck and the Flecktones will be reviving their wildly successful holiday tour in 2009. Béla Fleck, Victor Wooten, Futureman and Jeff Coffin will be joined on select dates by acclaimed Tuvan throat singers, Alash Ensemble.

Alash Ensemble first joined the Flecktones in 2008 for an otherworldly rendition of “Jingle Bells” on first-ever holiday record, the Grammy-winning Jingle All The Way (Rounder). Newsweek writes, “Imagine a human bagpipe-a person who could sing a sustained low note while humming an eerie, whistle-like melody. For good measure, toss in a thrumming rhythm similar to that of a jaw harp, but produced vocally-by the same person, at the same time." Now imagine 4 guys that can do that at the same time!
