Guys -
A week from now, if everything goes as planned, I will be on my way (first time in 18 years) back to the old country. In-between geological maps and visits to high-elevation gold mines I hope to have a taste of what looks like a unprecedented tea frenzy between Baltics and Urals. Reports have it that puers creations go for much $$$ per cup at Moscow tea clubs with teamasters from China and Japan doing the art. I am skeptical, but we'll see. Will write in detail when I come back.
Sasha.
Wow! are you from Kyrgystan?
They play great music there,Incredible diphonic songs!

Nope. Born in Siberia, raised in Leningrad (SPB now). I have never heard of diphonic singing in Kyrgyz. Tuva is a different story.

I love the music of Kyrgyz myself, but haven't got a vocabulary to describe it. That Tuva stuff is the famous double noted throat thing also found in Tibet, right? Sasha, have you ever tried that style of singing? Be careful though: It could make your voice kind of husky.

Yes, the Tuva singers can modulate a sharp melody while they hold a continue bass line...
Sorry, Sasha, for having confused Tuva and Kyrgystan...

You should hear my rendition of "Nessun Dorma" ("A l'aba vincero" - the final from Turandot) in vodka-induced thri-phonic voice. Beats the puerh out of Pavarotti.
Sasha.
Did anybody ever see "Genghis Blues"
