Please note!
Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

Also included are gems by Sayat Nova, Komitas and others, performed with members of the Shoghakn Ensemble.

Tuvan throat singing meets the electric guitar on the steppes and rocks! Newly available directly from the ensemble.

Albert Kuvezin and Yat-Kha - Re-covers - $17.99
(cdRoots# wp-recovers)
OK, it had to happen, and Tuvan singer, electric guitarist and experimentalist Kuvezin is certainly the one to do it: Tuvan rooted recovers of pop and country 'hits' (although some here fall into the category of minor). So Led Zepellin's "When The Levee Breaks" gets an acid-rock throat-singing treatment to entrancing if somewhat unsettling results side by side with music from Kratfwerk, Motorhead, Hank Williams, Iron Butterfly, Paul Mauriat, Captain Beefheart ("Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles" is one of the gems of the set!), Joy Division and a few Central Asian hit-makers as well. Irresistible fun, and occasioanlly brilliant. (This is the 2006 US release)

Yat Kha - tuva.rock - $18.99
(cdRoots# wp-tuvarock)
As the title implies, there are moments where this is the most 'rock' recording by this contemporary Tuvan ensemble to date, a hard hitting, electric exploration of Tuvan roots and western rock. But just as often it is a gentle, folky and beautiful tribute to the folk music. Possibly YatKha's best to date.

Yat-Kha - Yenisei-Punk - $special order
(cdRoots# hm-yatkha-punk)
The classic 1995 Tuvan fusion
