Thanks to both of you

. That’s a very interesting info. specially if you look at his background. It would be great to experience his chant online, if anyone has any clue plz share it.

Dear Somnath....Absolutely no clue what he sounds like. Could be along the lines of Tibetian/Buddhist chants. I've experienced that in Tibet and Bodh-gaya. But can't figure out if that would have mass appeal [no dhick-chak you know].

A very intering album I have features a mongolian vocalist who make the most amazing sounds. He is on a couple of tracks of a Bela Fleck DVD "Live at the Quick" If you like jazz and free form music you'll love this. Can help you getting hold of a copy.

May the force be with you!!
