Reviews"Ted Levin gives us a vivid picture of music in inner Asia today-both the ancient traditions and the way they're rubbing up against the modern world. . . . After reading this immensely readable and thought-provoking book, you'll never listen to throat singing in the same way again." -Simon Broughton, editor, Songlines and Rough Guide to World Music"No other writer could extract such a delicate mélange of philosophy, acoustics, and aesthetics from one man's vocalization over a running stream-or report with such canny insight on how that individual must negotiate his life as a 'star' in the West." -Michael Church, BBC World Service"Entertaining, fascinating, and well written, it depicts important issues in the globalization of indigenous music." -Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer, author of The Tenacity of Ethnicity, "Always readable, with issues and ideas presented in an immediate style, rich in personal vignettes and ethnographic detail, and brought to life by the fabulous double-sided DVD/CD, Where Rivers and Mountains Sing is a gift for teachers and students." -- Ethnomusicology, Winter 2009

As performers from Tuva and other parts of inner Asia have responded to the growing worldwide popularity of their music, Levin follows them to the West, detailing their efforts to nourish global connections while preserving the power and poignancy of their music traditions. A DVD/CD video/music disk is included., The lives and music of Tuvan throat-singers, including Huun-Huur-Tu, and other nomadic musicians from inner Asia., The lives and music of Tuvan throatsingers, including Huun-Huur-Tu, and other nomadic musicians from inner Asia
