27th Victoriaville Musique Actuelle Festival (2011) Review

From Downtown Music Gallery:

The opening set was a delightful trio called Tokyo Taiga which featured Makigami Koichi on vocals, theremin, jaw’s harp & pocket trumpet, Bolot Bayryshev (from Mongolia) on voice & topshur (2-string plucked guitar-like instrument) and Sato Masaharu on percussion & flutes. The set started with the ever-charming Makigami singing slowly and making that mischievous face that we all love. Both Makigami and Bolot both sang lead in different combinations, with Bolot most often singing in that exotic Tuvan throat-singing voice.
