History
The Yat-Ha group was formed in 1992 in Moscow by Albert Kuvezin and electronic musician Ivan Sokolovsky , known, in particular, as a member of the Night Prospect and Center groups. The music of that period was saturated, in addition to Albert Kuvezin's Tuvan throat singing , with electronic industrial elements, and even resembled the music of bands such as Front 242 .
After the release of the eponymous album "Yat-Ha", the creative paths of Kuvezin and Sokolovsky diverged. Ivan Sokolovsky released his (processed and enlarged) version of the Yat-Ha album titled Tundra's Ghosts in 1996-1997.
Subsequently, the group consisted of Kuvezin and other musicians, among whom the only more or less permanent member of the group is Evgeny Tkachev . In music, electronics has changed to rock and postpunk .
The group made several world tours, performing mainly outside of Russia . One of the people in the West with whom the group collaborated was Lou Edmonds , known as a member of Public Image Ltd.

Musical characteristic

| We, after all, are modern people and therefore we are closer to rock and roll, but the roots are undoubtedly traditional music: throat singing accompanied by folk instruments. Traditional for our culture melody. Electric guitars sound against a background atypical for rock music, more lively Asian, including Arabic rhythms. Musicians playing such music are always peculiar bridges, thanks to which the connection of times |
