Deep in the Heart of Tuva: Cowboy Music from the Wild East

In Siberia in the mountain steppes above the border of Mongolia lies Tuva, an isolated country of herdsmen and shepherds. Among them are exquisitely talented musicians who can sing two notes at once, producing powerful overtones, like whistling wind or a great storm. This recording showcases the main styles of Tuvan throat singing as well as the embellishments on those techniques.
