Kerry venue set to host world-renowned throat singing band hailing from the heart of Central Asia
That's if the reputation of legendary quartet Huun-Huur-Tu is anything to go by.
The throat singing and music group, from the Russian republic of Tuva on the Mongolian border, will play at Saint John the Evangelist Church in Tralee on Sunday, June 1.
The group's performance promises to be an inspiring one which will evoke the vast south Siberian steppe.
On the night, the ensemble will play traditional instruments such as the igil (horse head fiddle) and doshpuluur (three-stringed lute) and dress in traditional Tuvan garb.
Huun-Huur-Tu will appear at the Ashe Street venue as its members celebrate 30 years since the band was formed.
Over the past three decades, the group has established itself as the one of the foremost throat singing and world music acts and captivated audiences all over the globe.
The band has previously collaborated with artists such as The Chieftains and Frank Zappa.
Huun-Huur-Tu will play at 8pm at Saint John the Evangelist Church in Tralee on Sunday, June 1.
