Choduraa Tumat & Tyva Kyzy, , Siberia in concert /LD/

Tyva Kyzy (Daughters of Tuva) is recognized as first and, to date, the only group of women performing throat-sining in Central-Asia.

Instruments include chadagan (zither), byzaanchy, igil (both bow instruments) and toshpuluur (lute). Fragment of their concert in Tropentheater in Amsterdam. Two songs of Tyva Kyzy, starting off the concert. “Сеткилимден сергек ыр-дыр (Cheerful Song of My Soul)“/ “Хомузум (My mouth-harp)“. Filmed by the Dutch production company Booz during the group’s tour in Europe in February 2012.
