I don't have Hookah Cafe, but the name is ringing a bell. Is it some kind of jazz-rai? Wait - let me do a search ... ah, there it is. Found it on Amazon. The reviewers make it sound like chilled fusion exotica, which makes me think, "Ouch," but if you say it's good then I'm willing to give it a shot if I ever get the chance.

a friend of mine is learning Tuvan throat-singing
He's also the best didjeridoo player I've ever heard. Granted, I haven't heard all that many, but he does things that I didn't know were possible with the thing. At some point I'm gonna get together with him and some other friends who play djembes or didjeridoos or whatever and we're gonna record a primal jam album. We jam all the time at parties, and it's always good

mars,
ah, the didgeridoo. There was a great garage band in Dallas a few years ago called Sofaking. The main instrument was the didgeridoo. It was a ten foot long piece of pvc tubing. I'm guessing about 3" in diameter, with a microphone at the end. It was an electric didgeridoo I guess. But it provided this great drone for the quitars and drums to play against.
Even though I have to do breath tricks to get the sounds out of the flute that I do, I never been able to master the didgeridoo. Of course I've never tried that hard.

There's a Finnish band called Gjallarhorn who use the didj to replace the drone of the more traditional native bagpipe, and it works beautifully. I wonder, however, how the people up in the NT feel about their traditional male-only instrument being waved blithely around the world and tootled away on in suburban lounge rooms. For example -

Do any of you have World Network's Tuvinian Throat singers and musicians? There's a sygyt/kargyraa track on there sung by an eleven-year-old, and thr idea of that low growl coming out of such a young throat gives it a terrific frisson. (I'm probably giving in to the lure of novelty, I know, but still, the kid does a genuinely good job for an amateur.) Yat-Kha gives me a buzz as well. Cock-rock combined with kargyraa, combined with that hose-hoof-beat that runs through the traditional music of that area makes me kick up my heels and ponder the inventiveness of humankind.
