There’s just a month to go before Le Guess Who? takes over Utrecht. With over 150 artists set to perform, how do we make sense of such a monumental line-up? We made a list of the artists we’re most excited to see and asked them for their recommendations.
Yat-Kha
Performing Thursday 9th November at TivoliVredenburg
One band we’re looking forward to seeing is Yat-Kha. The astounding and acclaimed band from Tuva was founded over 25 years ago and explores the ground between traditional and modern, fusing traditional Tuvan music and throat singing with genres like rock, blues, post punk and electronic music. Led by guitarist and throat singer Albert Kuvezin, Yat-Kha have found audiences all around the world. Here’s their recommendations, with a few words from Albert.
Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares
