Veering up north to the pocket of mountain fresh air between Southern Siberia and Northern Mongolia, we are in Tuva peering for eagles (the birds) and igils (the instruments).
Read the interesting folktale about the founding of the igil, and it's relation to the horse.

Tuva is particularly known for OVERTONE singing. I came to know of Tuvan music through the incredible adventure of an American blues singer named Paul Pena whose documentary film "Genghis Blues" spins the tale of his journey to Tuva to compete in (and win) a throatsinging contest.
This 40-day Virtual World Tour of Music correlates with the World Music House kickstarter crowdfund.
