About

Huun-Huur-Tu (Tuvan: Хүн Хүртү, romanized: Xün Xürtü [ˌxʏn xʏrˈtʰʏ]; Russian: Хуун-Хуур-Ту [ˌxuːn xuːr ˈtʊ]) are a music group from Tuva, a Russian federative republic situated on the Mongolia–Russia border. Their music includes throat singing, in which the singers sing both a note and its overtones, thus producing two or three notes simultaneously. The overtone may sound like a flute, whistle or bird, but is solely a product of the human voice.

The group primarily use native Tuvan instruments such as the igil, khomus (Tuvan jaw harp), doshpuluur, and dünggür (shaman drum). However, in recent years, the group have begun to selectively incorporate Western instruments, such as the guitar. While the thrust of Huun-Huur-Tu's music is fundamentally indigenous Tuvan folk music, they also experiment with incorporating Western instruments and electronic music.

Huun-Huur-Tu (touvain : Куңгуртуг) est un groupe musical russe, originaire de Touva, au Sud de la Sibérie, à la frontière Nord-Ouest de la Mongolie. Huun-Huur-Tu se caractérise principalement par son interprétation de la musique traditionnelle touvaine (une culture régionale mongole), en utilisant exclusivement des instruments traditionnels touvains et plus généralement mongols (morin khuur, guimbarde…). Le groupe exécute notamment des chants chamaniques en utilisant le khöömii (littéralement chant de larynx), en français chant diphonique, typique des musiques traditionnelles mongoles.
