Modern music with ancient roots

Throat singer savors working with contemporary DJs and connecting with nature, Chen Nan reports.

With her exceptional voice, well-known for spanning seven octaves and her performance of khoomei (throat-singing), Sainkho Namtchylak, the singer from Tuva, has performed around the world.

She compares contemporary music festivals to "the archaic culture of gathering and sharing visions and dancing, like shamanistic ceremonies".
