Secrets of Khomrej – Voices from Tuva
A film of Wolfgang Hamm
2000, 60 Minuten
At the “end of the world”, between Siberia and Mongolia, lies the small republic of Tuva. For centuries, the country, surrounded by mountain ranges, was isolated from the outside world. We wouldn’t know anything about Tuva if it weren’t for this strange song. What the Turkic-speaking Tuvans elicit from their vocal chords and throats is one of the most astonishing vocal forms on earth.
