Albert Kuvezin (Russian: Альберт Кувезин) is a Tuvan guitarist and throat singer.
Kuvezin was one of the founding members of the Tuvan folk ensemble Huun-Huur-Tu, and is the leader of the Tuvan folk/rock/electro/post punk band Yat-Kha. He is known for his unique, contra-bass style of Tuvan kargyraa throat singing, which he calls "kanzat kargyraa." According to Russian critic Artemi Troitsky, "There are two unique voices on Earth right now; they belong to Pavarotti and Kuvezin."
In addition to his work with Yat-Kha, Kuvezin has contributed to albums by Alisa ("Duren", 1997), Susheela Raman and Värttinä.
