The songs featured on 'Tuva Rock' include old and new.
Tracks such as
"Come Along", "Dorug Daiym", "Teve-Khaya",
"Khandagaity" have already become staples of their live set
- with the title track 'Tuva Rock' the unofficial anthem of Tuvan youth.
There are arrangements of traditional songs, including "Eki Attar"
- which was played spontaneously and recorded live in the studio - plus several
new compositions by Yat-Kha.
The song "Uzhur-La Bar" began life as a melody composed by
Albert for a musical fairy tale, with vocals added by the late Tuvan singer
Kan-ool Mongush.
Radik Tiuliush wrote new lyrics to the tune just a month before the band went
into the studio in France to record 'Tuva Rock' with producer Paul
Corkett, whose previous credits include Placebo,
Nick Cave,
The Cure, Cooper
Temple Clause, Snuff
and Sixteen Horsepower.
