truly outstanding, i feel much better listening to this than any of these J.Lo Justin Timberlake shit today, pop has no soul in it anymore,for decades (centuries)

[spiffinz]

Words cannot describe the power and emotion I feel while listening to this music. Every day I listen to it several times in a row just to absorb the feeling behind the music.

Truly awe inspiring music :)

where can I find the lyrics?

[azmhyr]

Nevertheless, Khalka influence is strong in the Tyva.

But Tyvan influence is also strong in Khalka and other mongols.

On some accounts, they are mentioned as turkcified mongols, and on others, as mongolified turks.

Which one is which, one can't tell. Now with the arrival of the russians, their heritage might be more mixed.

[OzanTenger]

Might as well clear this up. Tuvans are racially and linguistically closer to Turks, though they are still related to Mongols. Even the name of the song, Saryglar, has the same plural ending as modern turkish, not to mention a lot of common words, that even I, being from Turkey understand very well. However, centuries of living near Mongols has imbued them with more mongol culture, though they are quite unique themselves. anyhow, this music is beautiful all the same...

I'm sure you have, but just in case you haven't... listen to Orphans Lament.

ROFLMAO

[luciusfluff]

This is so beautiful, I've watched it probably hundreds of times but it still makes my chest tighten every time. I love it so much I'm working on learning this style of singing myself... doesn't work so well being female and white. :\

We'll see how it goes.
