For a delightful, delightful video to rent after a gruelling week, check out
"Ghengis Blues," which was nominated for an Oscar a few years ago in the
Documentary category. It's the true story of a blind L.A. blues singer who
teaches himself the technique of Tuvan throat singing via listening to short
wave broadcast on Radio Moscow, makes a trip to Tuva (with a little help from
his friends), enters and WINS a singing competition there and becomes a
national cultural hero. Some fascinating music, a wonderful story, glorious
scenery, and the fusion of blues and throat singing which he demonstrates will
blow your mind. It's a wonderful surprize to include in your life.
