    RIP Kongar-ol Ondar, Tuvan throat singer

    He died from a brain hemorrhage at 51. He appears on Bela Fleck's live album, and also performed for Frank Zappa when FZ was near the end. I highly recommend the film Genghis Blues to see what throat singing is all about.

    Rest in peace.

    that's too bad. he was an amazing artist. his 1st (and possibly only) album was incredible.
