Gorgeous costumes, handmade instruments, and the otherworldly overtone sounds of Sygt (a whistling sound, and an imitation of the gentle breezes of summer, the songs of birds), Kargyraa (the howling winds of winter or the plaintive cries of a mother camel after losing her calf), Khoomei (wind swirling among rocks), Dumchuktaar (singing through the nose), and Ezengileer (mimicking the rhythms of horseback riding) from the group that first brought the ancient, animistic art of Tuvan throat singing to the attention of the west.
