As she says: "I sing and perform khöömei as long as I remember myself". She was born and raised up in musically talented family in Western Tyva. She used to be a member of "Tyva kyzy" ensemble. Now she is in "Tyva" ensemble, the legendary band in Tuvan music history where all famous throat-singers came from.

I can't understand why this video (and your others) aren't more popular. She's fantastic!

Many people do not recognise, she is singing two tones simulanious!

Awesome - I found this when I was looking up connection between Freddie Mercury's voice and science research on it brought up Tuvan Throat singing

[@martyfan11agnosticalienfan]

I found out about throat singing courtesy of my guitar teacher. As for Queen, well I've been a fan of theirs since I was about 6, and I saw Queen + Paul Rodgers in 2008 (although my mum got to go and see the original lineup back in 1975, and one of the guys at work was at their Wembley gig).

Thank you for sharing this. Super authentic feel. I love these videos of someone just out on their own in the open of Tuva, singing.

Hello from Tyva

[@joelwallenius2877]

DAyum!

[@VictoriaSoyanPeemot]

Hi Joel, thanks for a comment, though would be nice to know what that word 'DAyum' means....

[@joelwallenius2877]

It's an informal spelling of 'Damn', in this context supposed to convey wonder/amazement/being impressed. :-]
