YouTube statistics and analysis for @altaikai

Altai Kai is a world-renowned ensemble of throat singers from the Republic of Altai (Northwest from Mongolia). The throat singing group was founded in 1997 by Urmat Yntaev, with the goal of preserving and cultivating the traditional culture of the Republic of Altai, in particular the various styles of Mongolian throat singing known as kai. Their velvety kargyraa (the lowest style of throat singing), mesmerizing khoomei (middle range throat singing), and melodic sygyt (highest range throat singing) place the listener amidst forests of singing birds, gurgling brooks, and the growls of nighttime predators. Stories of nature's beauty and mighty folk heroes are accompanied by jocular melodies, dancing rhythms, and shamanic mysteries. The narrators skillfully relate traditional, sacred tales and epics of centuries past. Throat singing and the ringing melodies of the khomus, topshur and accordion all come together to form the sound of Altai Kai.
