_ABOUT THE PERFORMERS_
YULIYANA KRIVOSHAPKINA is the foremost master of the khomus, a type of
jaw harp from the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). When she was just seven
years old, Yuliyana began studying the khomus from her mother. She
joined the Sakha folk group Ayarkhaan, and the group toured several
international festivals, captivating thousands of world music fans
with their distinct melodic sound. Today, Yuliyana performs solo and
teaches khomus enthusiasts all over the world. Her repertoire is
versatile, featuring traditional singing and folk melodies accompanied
by the khomus. Yuliyana's voice and khomus blend to create unique
harmony that often evokes feelings of profound wonder. Audiences might
hear the rustle of grass in the wind, the cry of a bird startled into
the sky, and the quiet incantations of an ancient shamanic ritual. In
2019, Yuliyana joined renowned Tuvan throat singers Chirgilchin on her
first US tour. The experiences on this tour lead to the birth of a new
project, Sounds of Siberia, which combines the traditional music of
Sakha and Tuva.
NACHYN CHOREVE is a soloist in the Tuvan State Philharmonic and member
of Tuvan psychedelic rock band Hartyga. Hartyga was founded in 2003
and represents the younger generation of Tuvan throat singers. They
follow in the footsteps of the legendary Tuvan ethnic rock group
Yat-Kha, and in 2017 toured and recorded with Yat-Kha’s iconic
frontman, Albert Kuvezin. In September 2019, Nachyn and Hartyga toured
the US for the first time with Olympia-based artist Arrington de
Dionyso.
Together, Yuliyana and Nachyn transport listeners to the vast expanse
of Siberia. Stretching from Tuva in the south to Yakutia in the north,
Siberia is a land of mountains, deserts, plains, and tundra. Nachyn's
mastery of the different styles of throat singing takes listeners to
the taiga and mountain brooks of Tuva, while Yuliyana brings the
sounds of the birds,reindeer, and winds of the endless tundra of
Yakutia. At the same time throat singing emerged out of the Tuvan
nomadic lifestyle, the khomus became the backbone of Yakutian culture
and the tool of powerful shamans. When heard together, these two
musical styles are a transformational experience.
