The Fonó music club is hosting a special cultural experience for visitors on 17 November. Huun-Huur-Tu, a music group all the way from Tuva, a republic of Russia on the border with Mongolia, visit Budapest to entertain the audience. The most distinctive characteristic of Huun-Huur-Tu's music is throat singing, in which the performers sing both the note and the overtones, producing two or three notes simultaneously. The overtone may sound like a flute, whistle or bird, but is solely a product of the human voice. While the thrust of Huun-Huur-Tu's music is fundamentally indigenous Tuvan folk music, they also experiment with incorporating not only Western instruments, but electronic music as well. Their popularity has increased significantly in recent years, and the group has worked together with the likes of Frank Zappa, Kronos Quartet, Ry Cooder, the Chieftains and L Shankar.
