  • The guy in red at the opening is playing the byzaanchy. It has 4 strings and played with a bow that is threaded between the strings.

    The guy to the right of him is playing the igil. It has two strings and the bow is not threaded under teh strings.

    The guy to the right with the guitar-looking instrument is playing the doshpuluur.

    The large drum is called kengirge, and was introduced to Tuva by Tibetan Buddhists. On top of it is the set of small bells threaded together called shyngyrash.

  • Excellent!

  • @sortilegus search "agyp batkan alazhymga" on google

  • anyone know where i can find a translation, or the original lyrics for that matter?

  • so much feeling! Bravo!

  • @Throatsiinger Allright, I got a little list, too. Good as a starting point.

  • im totally into the throat singing and vocals. not their little instruments tho.

  • AH! I'm seeing these guys for the second tomorrow :D

  • these guys came to my school yesterday...it was pretty cool...if you ever get a chance you need to see them live

  • I had the pleasure of seeing these guys perform at the Stiefel Theatre here in Salina this past weekend and they are truly inspirational.

  • They came to the Princeton Arts Council and did a performance for the Arts Exchange Program this past Thurs. They are so... just awesome! If I could, I would go and see them again. :)

  • I had the IMMENSE pleasure of seeing this band the other night. In all of the many, many live shows I've seen in my life of all the different kinds of music, this was by FAR one of the best. Deeply moving, melodic, haunting, and just damn fun. I was riveted. If you get the opportunity, do yourself a friggin' favor and go see these guys. They're on tour now in the U.S. and they'll probably continue to other parts of the world too.

    You'll be glad you did!!
