Ep 43 - Bataa Jambaldorj and The Heists: Mongolian Throat Singing meets Alaska Bluegrass

If your Instagram algorithm is tuned to serve you wholesome musical moments, you might have seen a video recently of an Alaskan bluegrass band (The Heists with Josh Fortenbery) playing the song "East Virginia Blues" with vocals from a Mongolian throat singer (Bataa Jambaldorj of Nomads). It's a joyous meeting of musical styles and cultures.    This episode tells the story of how that wonderfully serendipitous moment came to be.    The video   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYw9SRYRN3j/?igsh=MWJzZGd6OHQyaXp0dA==   Bataa's instagram   https://www.instagram.com/bataajambaldorj?igsh=ZTh2eGVodWU1Y252   Nomad's bandcamp   https://nomadsdublin.bandcamp.com/   Bataa playing in class   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DA36MolMmyM/?igsh=OWt0bmN1dzhvaWFs   Hansel/Billy   https://www.instagram.com/_hansel_s?igsh=YjhyMnlja3Zwbzd4   The Heists   https://www.the-heists.com/   https://www.instagram.com/the_heists?igsh=NTk2dDcwdGxnZ2ts   Josh Fortenbery   https://www.instagram.com/josh.fortenbery?igsh=MWRsZjB0czljcmV0cg==   Taylor Vidic    https://www.instagram.com/taylordallasvidic?igsh=Z291aW16ZTh0cHhu     Deni Hurtado   https://www.instagram.com/deni_hurtado?igsh=bnJnMm1vYTExZHluY     Lisa/Twitcher   https://www.instagram.com/twitcher_music?igsh=Yjg0NW9weXowd3cx   Cormac/Big Monster Love   https://bigmonsterlove.bandcamp.com/album/game-over
