Moscow-based Tuvans will get together to meet Shagaa on the 18th of February, almost 20 days after all the Tuvans greeted new year according to the moon calendar. The date is chosen to have all the Tuvan students back from their winter holidays spent in Tuva as the bulk of the Tuvan diaspore in Moscow is made up of the students. Moscow Shagaa will have as stars Kongar-ool Ondar and his pupils - 'Alash' musicians.
