This unique tour gives you an opportunity to learn the rare phenomenon – the narration.
The narration through the throat singing is the oldest genre of the oral folk art. This kind of art is spread not only among the Turki group of the Central Asia, but also is in the cultural legacy of the lot of the Indo-European, Finno-Ugric and the Aboriginal Population of the North America. This unique kind of art brought the tradition of myth-making to our time; and also the way of handing the national and spiritual values of the world from generation to generation.
The texts of legends are full of the genetic, social and moral, spiritual traditions of the nations’ development.
