The American musician Paul Pena, who has died aged 55, became an unlikely icon when the award-winning documentary Genghis Blues, charting his quest to sing in the Central Asian republic of Tuva, was hailed as a popular success. Though he sold very few albums, Pena was admired internationally for his courage and dignity in the face of terrible reverses.
