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.

A new English-Tuvan Phrasebook has come recently out, as it was reported to tuva-online by Steve Sklaire. Its author is Aldynai Seden-Khuurak, an English teacher. As he confirms: "This is definitely better than anything else I've seen. It's about 175 pages, including map, bibliography, etc. If you ever needed to say, "musk gland" or count to a billion in Tuvan, this is definitely the book for you. It's also a perfect gift for your favorite Tuvaphiles/Khoo-maniacs. You can order copies from the new Khoomei.com store at http://khoomei.com/store.htm

Following the discussion raised by the recent Tuva-Online information on the present and future of khoomei, I just want to say, no one can throatsing like a Tuvan. The nature of it cannot be recreated by anyone else - it's just not the same. There is overtone singing and then there is Tuvan throat-singing. When I hear Westernized overtone singing, it is a technique. When I hear Tuvan throat-singing it is like that person's soul appearing right before me, from the mouth, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The two sound very different to me. Anyone can overtone sing with practice, no one can Khoomei like a Tuvan!

The International Khoomei Festival was not held this year, but in July a throat singing festival was held in the Oviur district of Tuva, which borders Mongolia. The festival was held in honor of the memory of the legendary Khoomei perfomer, Gennady Tumat, who was a native of the area.
The Oviur festival gathered both Tuvan professionals, as well as beginners and about fifty fans of throat-singing, who came all the way from countries such as Spain, the United States, and Japan. The Japanese delegation was the largest with a total of fifteen performers, led by Koichi Makigami, the organizer of the Association of Khoomei Singers in Japan. Accompanying him to Tuva were his students, among them Fuyuki Yamakawa and last year's winner in the Special Guest nomination, Koji Kijima.

Greenpeace Russia aims to preserve the unique art of Tuvan throat singing. One could compare the preservation or native culture, customs, and people to a mass of uncharted wildlife-- partly forgotten national traditions have been recently considered to be an integral part of the World Nature Heritage. Authoritative international organizations have seriously started to investigate, preserve, and disseminate information about intangible cultural heritage. Special interest has been paid to Tuvan throatsinging as its origin, traditions, mystery, and power are inseperable from the nature of Tuvan and Central Asian nomadic way of life.
