当Paul Pena终于见到Kongar-ol Ondar时,距离他在收音机里听到Kongar-ol Ondar歌声那一刻已经过去了11年。他们来自两个截然不同的文化背景——非裔美国人文化和中亚游牧民族文化,这样的两个人,跨越了漫长的文化距离和时空距离,留下Ginghis Blues这段传奇故事。Paul Pena已经在2005年10月2日因胰腺癌去世。Kongar-ol Ondar目前大多数时间在美国生活和演出。The extraordinary odyssey of a U.S. musician of Cape Verdean ancestry to Tannu Tuva, in central Asia, where nomadic people throat sing more than one note simultaneously, using vocal harmonics. A bluesman, Paul Pena, blind and recently widowed, taught himself throat singing and was by chance invited to the 1995 throat-singing symposium in Kyzyl. Helped by the "Friends of Tuva," Pena makes the arduous journey. Singing in the deep, rumbling kargyraa style, Pena gives inspired performances at the festival, composes songs in Tuvan, washes his face in sacred rivers, expresses the disorientation of blindness in foreign surroundings, and makes a human connection with everyone he meets.
