Ravi Freeman
About me: Ravi is a rare talent - a musical shaman who knows no fear.
He has been an inspiration to us over the years as he continues to cross borders and boundaries in his quest for musical expression and freedom"
DEVA PREMAL & MITEN
Ravi is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and one of the longest established Western players of the kora (West African harp). His music is the result of a lifetime exploring the edge, through world music, tribal cultures, throat singing and a journey that has taken him from India to the Amazon.
As well as over 20 CDs, international performances and workshops and the invention of the electric/stereo kora, Ravi has also worked with artists such as Nigel Kennedy, Jon Lord, Phil Manzanera, Baaba Maal, Dr John, Ronu Majumdar and Marlui Miranda.
The most recent albums are “Songs for the Golden Age” and “Two Rivers” with master flautist Adrian Freedman
As well as devotional singing events, Ravi also offers Overtone Singing and Voice Workshops
which take participants on a transformational journey of discovery into the voice
Giovanni Bortoluzzi
About me: Italian overtone singer, throat singer(Tuvan Khöömei), musician and flutemaker.
I perform in concerts and theaters with Sherden Overtone Choir, in Sardinia(Italy) and abroad: I also offer workshops and private lessons using my "4L's method", which allows to gradually learn overtone singing through four paths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZurQeV5mr8
I fell in love with music when I was a little kid, but I've never been into singing until I discovered the world of overtones.
I always tried to find my own way of expression by learning several instruments, then I finally started singing overtones: since that day I met awesome people all over the world :)
In 2016 I co-founded with Ilaria Orefice the first overtone singing school in Sardinia(Italy): it is called "Sherden Overtone Singing School": we teach how to control breathing and speaking in an effective way, then we train people to discover their own overtones and to use them for creating music or to meditate.
Overtone series is a beautiful gift given to us by nature, so it belongs to anyone.
Sage Pbbbt
About me: My singing practice takes inspiration from Tuvan and Mongolian overtone singing, Inuit throat singing, sound poetry and an ongoing exploration of extra-normal vocal technique.
I also take influence from industrial musick, trance, and drone; insight meditation practice, urban/industrial shamanism and chaos magick; feminist, queer and trans praxis; and Discordianism.
As a researcher, I have interests in feminist, queer and trans politics, intersectionality and ethical engagements with postmodern culture(s), with a focus on writing against normative narratives. A critical engagement with the ethics of performance, cultural appropriation and privilege form the core of my praxis. I use the moniker Sage Pbbbt for vocal performance work and my name Sage J Harlow for writing.
I recently complete my PhD entitled ‘Giving voice to the extra-normal self with the extra-normal voice: Improvised exploration through the realms of shamanic chaos magick, insight meditation and gender performance.’ You can read it here if you like.
Sometimes I play the drums. Sometimes I write pieces of musick.
Pronouns: she/her.
I recognise the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of this country. I recognise the the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation as the traditional custodians of the land where I live (Perth, Western Australia).
Hosoo
About me: I was born in 1971 into a family of khoomii singers from the province of Chandman Sum in Khovd, in the Altai mountain region of Western Mongolia. This is the only region in Mongolia where khoomii is sung and where the khoomii technique is passed on to each generation. I have been practising throat singing since I was seven years old. After finishing school in Khovd I started my career as a singer in Ulaanbaatar (the capital of Mongolia). I worked in a Mongolian song and dance ensemble until 1993. The reward for my musical efforts came in 1995 and 2001 when I won a singing contest in Ulaanbaatar and was awarded the title of »Best Mongolian Singer«.

Since 1993, I have toured China, Russia and the whole of Europe as a member of the Manduchai, Egschiglen and Uyanga ensembles. During this time I produced the CDs »Gobi« with Egschiglen and »Uyanga-1« with Uyanga. I can also be heard as a guest musician on the »Istanbul-Casablanca - Tour ‘89« by the jazz formation »embryo«, on »autoloop« by Giorgio Li Calzi and on the »Masters Of Chant Chapter II« of the »Gregorian« series.

sylvia reich
About me: Starting to sing as a child, I have been touched by many musical influences all around the world. At the age of 10 I started to sing as solo alto voice in choir for classical church music. Then made band experiences as backing vocalsist with the range of ongoing western styles in the middle seventies.
Living with Beduins in the Sinai desert I was for the first time in touch with oriental rhytms and vocals. Immedialtey getting thrilled. During three years i stayed in India, Ihad the chance to study mantra singing and it´s healing dynamics at the temples of Pushkar.
Beeing thought in schamanic healing, I learned how voice is touching and transforming different human layers.
At the same time I started to work in several projects with Jazz, improvised music and world music. I was educated in trance dance and trance music. 1990 I started throat singing and overtone singing. I developed my voice, understanding it´s limitations, as connected with psychic barriers which I started to undo.
Beside my work as a singer, lyric writer and composer, I did art works with precious stones at power spots in nature and furniture to recover bodies and spirit. While doing for one Year precious stone covered seats in a cave in Mariposa, Tenerife, I could work with healing sounds on nature.
During the last years I have been involved in noumeros muscal projekts with other musicans and in studios. I am doing performances with mantra singing, sound journeys, overtones and a capella songs.
In my classes and work shops I am offering mantra singing, voice liberation, singing technique, and healing tunes.
Anthar Kharana
About me: Anthar Kharana, is a composer and multi-instrumentalist born in a small town called Ocana in the North of Colombia and years later he moved to Bogota. He grew up in a musical family and his first link with music was at the age of nine. He has been involved in many musical projects and bands, offering him a wide vision about different ways of putting together sounds and intentions, feelings and thoughts. Starting with rough punk in his early years as a result of the oppressive political situation in Colombia, to then begin training himself as a counter-tenor (highest male voice’s pitch in opera) afterwards, giving him the ability to increase his voice range and to reach high pitches that sounds like female voice.
<center><img src="http://www.antharkharana.com/Anthar/anthar-overtone-net.jpg"/></center>
After years of practice he developed the complex technique of Throat Singing, including Khoomii from Mongolia also known as Polyphonic Voice, and other overtone styles incluiding western harmonics which made an important step whilst working with Vibrational Sound Healing. As part of that process, together with his passion for different ancient cultures, he started to investigate about the power of sound and how it generates changes in many different ways and levels of conciousness.
Anthar is also an educator and has been touring the UK facilitating Traditional Colombian drumming and Tribal Voice workshops in different festivals and schools. He teaches and shares the roots of Colombian traditions and rhythms of the Indigenous people who were living (and still) on the Carribbean Coast of Colombia and got mixed with African slaves brought with the Spanish colony at the end of the 16th century.

AHOI artists+events by Mahide
About me: KHUKH MONGOL was founded 1997 by Dashtseren Erdenbold. KHUKH MONGOL means blue Mongolia referring to the special meaning of the colour blue for the Mongolian people. They have a strong appreciation for the rich deep-blue colour of their homelands sky, something the country is well-known for. On nearly 300 days in the year the sky of Mongolia is clear and blue. Also, it is alleged, that all new-born Mongolian children have a blue mark on their backs.
The members of KHUKH MONGOL came together 1997 in Ulaan Baator and have travelled since then under the direction of Dashtseren Erdenebold as musical Ambassadors of Mongolia through the world.
KHUKH MONGOL contains of studied singers and musicians of typical Mongolian instruments such as horse head violin, dulcimer, flute and bass. In the group is also the wife of the leader, the Khoeoemii,a female singer Purevsuren Usukhjargal, which masters this singing technique as one of three women in Mongolia !
As a further musical characteristic, their son, the seven-year-old Erdenebold Tuguldur is to be heard with Overtone-Voice & Throat-Singing on the track: "Tavan Hasag".
Since 1998 the group had many great appearances with their comprehensive repertoire from traditional instrumental music, songs (Khoomi, Magtaal praise) and dances (religious mask dance Tsam, traditional mask dance, traditional dance Bijelgee) in whole Western Europe, USA and Japan. The musicians and dancers of Khukh Mongol participated successfully in numerous jazz- and folk music festivals in Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium. Khukh Mongol performs in traditional Mongolian costumes that are made up of mainly of heavy brocade material in wonderful designs and brilliant colours. All musicians from Khukh Mongol are professionals who studied Mongolian folk music.
Egschiglen
About me: The band Egschiglen ("Beautiful melody") was founded in 1991 by master students of the conservatory of Ulaanbaatar. Still today 4 founding members are the heart of the group. From the very beginning, the musicians are focusing on contemporary music of Mongolia and searching systematically for the sound dimensions of this repertory with their traditional instruments and the central asian vocal technics (overtone and throat singing)
.
The music of a country is formed by its landscape and the way of life of its people. Mongolia, in the heart of Asia, is a vast country, roughly five times the size of Germany. Endless graslands in the south envelope into the barren beauty of the Gobi desert. From the snow-covered Altai and Changaj mountains clear rivers run through forests and flatlands. A large part of the more than 2 million Mongolians still live as nomads to this very day, in harmony and rhythm with nature, and together with their "five jewels": horses, camels, cattle, sheep and goats. The music of the Mongolians breathes the freedom and power of the simple way of life close to the nature.
Magnificant lucidity - is the fruit of years of research and travel between the conservatory of Ulaan Baatar, capital of Mongolia, and Röthenbach a. d. Pegnitz, small village in Germany. In this most southern German area of Franconia, the Egschiglen musicians regularly erected their traditional yurts to be nearer to European concert halls. What a distance they have covered since 1991 when the group, firmly rooted in tradition, was founded by a handfull students with commited contemporary attitudes!
Their first performances were modern Mongolian compositions written by fellow compatriots of the Soviet school. Their sucesses in the West were few due to audiences mostly accustomed to traditional folk music.
Since those beginnings, Egschiglen has transformed the art of folk music, far from native the grasslands and the traditional shamanistic and lamaistic forms such as epics and odes, survived miraculously 60 years of socialism.
It’s time for a walk through the labyrinth of vocal acrobatics: the diaphonic - the epic singing, or the melodic. Aditionally there are the try outs with experimental sounds of the -horse head violin, dulcimer, bass, and the two strings luthe.
Over the time the group has developped a unic vocal and instrumental language of their own. Their compositions and orchestrations reflect a fluent transformation of their native songs into magnificant contemporary music. Egschiglen’s concerts have involved into sparkling symphonies, expressions of pure freedom, always remaining true to its spiritual and nomadic roots.
Today the musical and poetic universe of these mongolian nomads continues to expand and grow. Their music reflects the excitement and joy with which these eternal nomads travel.
