What happens when two or more radically different musical traditions collide? New York City-based "pan-ethnic-roots-blues" band Hazmat Modine and the world-renowned Tuvan group Huun-Huur-Tu decided to find out. On a recent evening in Manhattan, they gathered together, as they have before, with instruments ranging from tuba to igil, a Tuvan string instrument, and jammed. Dean Olsher chronicles this evening-long experiment in musical collaboration. Produced by Julie Subrin.
