As the foremost international representative of Tuva, Russia’s musical culture, Huun Huur Tu transform the sounds of the natural world into music. Expressed in throat-singing, whistling, or other types of vocal production paired with traditional instruments, Huun Huur Tu creates radically representational music rooted in nature that is both unfamiliar and accessible.

“In the case of Huun Huur Tu…the art of imitation is rooted in a centuries-old world view of music as an offering…The end result is a strange, beautiful tapestry of sound and rhythm that taps into something more real, more authentic, than anything you’ll likely find on the American musical landscape.
