Along with music and the strong bond it can engender, Genghis Blues is about discovery. Pena's chance encounter with Tuvan music on short wave radio; Ondar's discovery of Pena in the theatre lobby; the Tuvan's discovery of a foreigner's deep appreciation and understanding of their culture; the Tuvan's discovery of traditional American blues; the Tuvan's discovery of the didgeridoo (a wonderful scene where a group of Tuvan musicians stand in gaped amazement at a simple instrument that sounds uncannily like their own throatsinging); and the audience's discovery of the simple human joys found in Genghis Blues.
