Soriah, which translates as "Milky Way" from Sufi, is the stage persona for the internationally recognized artist, Enrique Ugalde. Soriah's craft is a blending of traditional Khöömei (Tuvan Throat Singing), tempered with Soriah's own visceral force. Performances vary from being steeped in tradition & bound to its constructs to more experimental fascinations with electronic & acoustic accompaniments & introducing Butoh & Ritual Performance Art.
Soriah's use of Khöömei as a transportive medium is an offering to nature in her own tongue, that of organic sound whether it be wind, water or the mimicry of animals.
