HUUN-HUUR-TU Live Concert

Huun-Huur-Tu – Master of Throat Singing from Tuva
The Huun-Huur-Tu group comes from the South Siberian Republic of Tuva, near Mongolia. Since the 1990s, they have fascinated an international audience with their unique art of throat singing (Khoomei).
Their music combines ancient traditions of nomadic culture with a modern concert stage. The musicians imitate the sounds of nature with their voices – wind, water, horses' hooves – and create several sounds at the same time. Accompanied by traditional instruments such as the igil (horsehead violin), the doshpuluur (long-necked lute) or the khoms (Jews' harp), worlds of sound of great depth and spiritual power are created.
Huun-Huur-Tu means "the sun in the shadow" – a poetic reference to the play of light and darkness in nature. With their performances, the musicians bring the soul of the steppe to Europe and open a window to one of the oldest musical cultures in the world.
