Chirgilchin - wikipedia

Currently, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has created barriers not only to economic but also to various cultural exchanges.
Tuva is no exception.
Music is the greatest thing that can affect the human mind.
We can communicate with each other, even if there is a difference between countries and languages.
Friends in Russia and Ukraine, without discrimination, will always be friends.
With Khoomei, which seems to be pouring down from the heavens,
We can seek for peace from the very root of our being.

Go see them if you have any slightest interest in it. This is a very precious opportunity for all of us. Chirgilchin is one of the top of the field, and considering the current situation, seeing them perform in Japan is itself a miracle. So go see them and experience the great tradition from Siberia. 

The most recommended date is the Shizuoka Granship concert on October 9 because of its nice acoustics.
