I have performed in bathing houses and in cages, on squares and yes, on stages, too. I sing in Russian, Tuvan, Finnish, Romani and more, but my own songs tend to be in English.
Some of the songs I sing have been shaped just by me and some of them have been honed to perfection by an ocean of singers. Throat singing has become an integral part of my repertoire, ever since I visited Tuva in 2001. (More about that trip here.)
In the last few years I have been performing a lot with Ulf and Jan as a trio. We used to call ourselves GeeBeeThree, but it's been gettin' mighty confusin', so now it's just Girilal.
On some level I see myself primarily as a singer, so it is a pleasure and a privelege to be singing with the boys in
Äijä – our a capella folk music quartet.
