Watch a surprise Appalachian clog dance as three folk traditions collide

Three folk traditions combine in this exclusive Late Junction collaboration session, recorded in the music rooms of Craxton Studios, a turn-of-the-century house in north-west London.

Duo Anna & Elizabeth play Banjo, fiddle and guitar and draw their inspiration from the mountain music of Appalachia. Vocalist and saz virtuoso Asiq Nargile is from the Asiq tradition in Georgia, while Bady-Dorzhu Ondar from the Alash Ensemble is a master of harmonic Tuvan throat singing, a technique from the southern fringes of Siberia that allows a singer to produce multiple pitches simultaneously.
