I saw them at Earlham College last Sept. I still can't get the smile off my face and it is two months later. I was fortunate enough to have a picture taken with Sayan Bapa after the show. He was charming and very kind. If they are anywhere near me again, I know I will be there.

for your information... dig around and you will find a video of Huun Huur Tu (Münich 2002) there Sayan talks about Tuvan language and says "It is an old Turkish... very old"

Ethnic origin, and nationality are two different things... ethnic origins are determined by physical and cultural features... for example horse is a very common symbol of Turkis culture or look at their eyes... that shape is a very common facial shape... today no one in Turkey have such facial features :)
