Sounds of Siberia With Yuliyana Krivoshapkina + Nachyn Choreve

Be transported to the great expanse of Siberia by Yuliyana Krivoshapkina and Nachyn Choreve, virtuosos whose music underscores the power of nature and the timeless connections between humanity and the universe.

Nachyn’s mastery of different styles of throat singing takes listeners to the Taiga and mountain brooks of Tuva in the south of this vast region, while Yuliyana’s artistry on the khomus brings the sounds of the birds, reindeer, and winds of the endless tundra of Yakutia to the north. As throat singing emerged out of the Tuvan nomadic lifestyle, the khomus (jaw harp) became a linchpin of Yakutian musical culture and the tool of powerful shamans. When heard together, these two musical styles evoke the grandeur and impermanence of the natural world.
