Vladimir Oidupaa Oiun
There isn't too much information on this man, but from what I can gather... he was a protest songwriter/throat-singer from Tuva who ended up being incarcerated (for about 34 years off and on) due to the Tuvan government's growing fear of his influence. Either way, I'm a tremendous fan of his album, Divine Music from a Jail (1999), which was supposedly composed and/or recorded during his imprisonment. Who really knows, though? The differences between fact and legend are blurred when regarding his life and his music.
Anyways... it's such a unique and emotional album... There really isn't anything quite like it. In fact, his music apparently created a branch of Tuvan throat-singing which was appropriately named "Oidupaa style."
Any thoughts?
Also... if anyone knows more about this man, then I would love to hear what you have to say.
