The mysterious country of Tuva located at the source of the 
Yenisei River. It’s a real Wild East. Huge open range mixed with mountains and dense taiga create a feeling of vastness to this land.

Through the silence of the mountains and valleys a strange singing can be heard from the distance. It sounds hypnotic. It is impossible to make out the words, but despite this, the meaning of the song 
is clear to everyone. This is the Huun-Huur-Tu band - the main holder of traditional Tuvan music today. They traveled around
the world dozens of times: they were offered a comfortable life in Europe, work in Hollywood, and the patronage of Arab sheikhs. But they don't need all this.


After years of touring and traveling, the band decided to go on a trip to their native land in order to once again make sure that all the roots were growing properly and the tradition kept evolving.
