Atmospheric and mesmerizing, throat singing is almost too difficult to describe in words. The music - produced by resonating low sounds in the throat - creates a middle note and a haunting, flute-like harmony. This ancient tradition is kept alive in just a few countries across Central Asia, south of Siberia. Chirgilchin hails from the small Russian province of Tuva, north of Western Mongolia, renowned for world-class throat singers. Singing the ancient folk songs in the Tuvan language, the group accompanies themselves on a variety of beautiful hand made instruments. Chirgilchin’s incantations will transport you to a distant land where you will discover the soundtrack to an ancient faraway culture.
