Alash 'Achai', now available: https://folkways.si.edu/alash/achai

Achai, the Tuvan word for father, describes a deep paternal participation in the upbringing and growth of a new generation. It is also a fitting title for Alash’s new album to honor Kongar-ool Ondar, who served not only as a musical father for the ensemble, but also for an entire generation of Tuvan musicians. As Ondar shared memory and tradition, so too does Alash with spirited performances and forward-thinking collaborations. In the group’s first studio album for Smithsonian Folkways, Achai beautifully illustrates the adaptability of Tuvan music—organically created and deeply rooted, yet still interconnected with the sound world of the 21st century. Featuring master beatboxer Shodekeh, alongside time-honored Tuvan throat-singing styles, the album demonstrates how members of Alash have dedicated their lives to performing, preserving, developing, and growing the Tuvan tradition. They are worthy bearers of the culture of their fathers and sons. 57 minutes, 24-page booklet.

Here's my take on Dylan's "If not for you"

Bob dylan - If not for you - cover 2010

Beautiful and yet so fragile
In her black, glutted soul
Beautiful and yet so fragile
In her cracked, bursting shell
Dead still
Dead still as if time (had) stopped

Then her bleak smile went up in smoke
I wonder where, where she is now
Somehow got lost somewhere in the maze
Disappeared, holding her breath
Framed body
Shadows painted over

Shell inflames
Shadow up in smoke
Gotta burn
And burst
And rise again

For now she is shy, insecure, scared
Another day (she'll be) bold and brave
Swirling flaws make her beauty
Change isn't far, breathe again

Slow motion
She's slowly bursting
