A festival featuring Tuvan music, entitled "Kyzyl-Moscow", will be held in the Russian capital on December 29 and 30, 2004. Over the two day festival Muscovites can get acquainted with the young Tuvan folk groups Olchei, Changy-Khaaya, and Alash. The latter two are already well known both in Tuva and abroad as they are both winners of the Khoomei Festival in Kyzyl, "Ustuu-Khuree" in Chadan, and the "Sayan Ring" in Krasnoyarsk. Olchei is less known in Tuva but is well recognized in Moscow, where the group is based. This past summer Olchei successfully performed in the "Riddu-Riddu" Festival in Norway and in the "Day of Baikal" in Buryatia. They are now releasing their second album, entitled "Taiga". Their first album, "Call of the Hot Grass" has already sold out.
Festival guests in Moscow will also be able to view Tuvan paintings and stone carvings.
