 Tuva’s throat-singing musicians have hit the United States. A talk with the country’s superstar.Imagine a human bagpipe—a person who could sing a sustained low note while humming an eerie, whistlelike melody. For good measure, toss in a thrumming rhythm similar to that of a jaw harp, but produced vocally—by the same person, at the same time. It sounds impossible, but such a style of singing exists. It’s called throat singing, or overtone singing, and it’s reached its highest state of refinement in the tiny Central Asian republic of Tuva, situated between Mongolia and Siberia (and now part of the Russian Federation).

The inflation rate is overcoming the planned figures. Putin has expressed his concern over it in the meeting with the Russian prime-minister Fradkov. The average inflation for the first 2 months of 2006 in Siberia stands at 4,7 with Omsk in the 'lead' - 5,7 and with best results in Tuva, where it is only 1,7. The picture is 'spoiled' with sugar and salt. The sugar's price in Tuva has doubled rising from 18 rouble (60 cents) a kilo to 40 rouble (1,3 dollar)
